Gene:
acyloxyacyl hydrolase (neutrophil)
Gene ID:
199315
Symbol:
AOAH
Species:
1000
Description:
Acyloxyacyl hydrolase (AOAH) is a 2-subunit lipase which selectively hydrolyzes the secondary (acyloxyacyl-linked) fatty acyl chains from the lipid A region of bacterial endotoxins. AOAH may modulate host inflammatory responses to gram-negative bacterial invasion. The 2 subunits are encoded by a single mRNA.
