Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables acylglycerol lipase activity. Involved in regulation of trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid, modulating synaptic transmission. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ganglia; gut; olfactory epithelium; and renal calyx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and substance-related disorder. Orthologous to human FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase).
