Gene:
N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase (acid ceramidase)-like
Gene ID:
195768
Symbol:
ASAHL
Species:
1000
Description:
Degrades bioactive fatty acid amides to their corresponding acids, with the following preference: N- palmitoylethanolamine > N-myristoylethanolamine > N- lauroylethanolamine = N-stearoylethanolamine > N- arachidonoylethanolamine > N-oleoylethanolamine. Also exhibits weak hydrolytic activity against the ceramides N- lauroylsphingosine and N-palmitoylsphingosine.
