FAAH blocking peptide
FAAH Antibody (C-term) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that is responsible for the hydrolysis of a number of primary and secondary fatty acid amides, including the neuromodulatory compounds anandamide and oleamide. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
FAAH: Degrades bioactive fatty acid amides like oleamide, the endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide and myristic amide to their corresponding acids, thereby serving to terminate the signaling functions of these molecules. Hydrolyzes polyunsaturated substrate anandamide preferentially as compared to monounsaturated substrates. Homodimer. Highly expressed in the brain, small intestine, pancreas, skeletal muscle and testis. Also expressed in the kidney, liver, lung, placenta and prostate. Inhibited by O-aryl carbamates and alpha-keto heterocytes. Belongs to the amidase family.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p35-p34
Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum membrane
Molecular Function: fatty acid amide hydrolase activity; protein binding
Biological Process: arachidonic acid metabolic process; fatty acid catabolic process
Disease: Polysubstance Abuse, Susceptibility To

Product Notes
The FAAH faah (Catalog #AAA9222220) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FAAH, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
