Accepted name: fatty acid amide hydrolase
Reaction: (1) anandamide + H2O = arachidonic acid + ethanolamine
(2) oleamide + H2O = oleic acid + NH3
Glossary: anandamide = (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenamide
Other name(s): FAAH; oleamide hydrolase; anandamide amidohydrolase
Systematic name: fatty acylamide amidohydrolase
Comments: Integral membrane protein, the enzyme is responsible for the catabolism of neuromodulatory fatty acid amides, including anandamide and oleamide, occurs in mammalia.
