FAAH

FAAH

The serine hydrolase family of enzymes includes the membrane-bound protein FAAH (Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase).Numerous significant endogenous fatty acid amides, such as the putative anti-inflammatory compound palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and the endogenous cannabimimetic anandamide (AEA), which induces sleep, are hydrolyzed by FAAH. A class of bioactive lipids known as fatty acid amides (FAAs) signaling is terminated by FAAH both in peripheral tissues and the central nervous system (CNS).
FAAH belongs to the amidase signature (AS) superfamily and is widely distributed in multicellular eukaryotes. FAAH has a key role in the control of the cannabinoid signaling, through the hydrolysis of the endocannabinoids anandamide and in some tissues 2-arachidonoylglycerol.
