FAAH2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein fatty acid amide hydrolase 2, which is encoded by the FAAH2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the hydrolysis of endogenous amidated lipids like the sleep-inducing lipid oleamide ((9Z)-octadecenamide), the endocannabinoid anandamide (N-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-ethanolamine), as well as other fatty amides, to their corresponding fatty acids, thereby regulating the signaling functions of these molecules. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 532 residues, a mass of 58.3 kDa, and is a member of the Amidase protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane and is reported to be expressed in kidney, liver, lung, prostate, heart and ovary. Other alias names for this target include amidase domain-containing protein, anandamide amidohydrolase 2, oleamide hydrolase 2, and amidase domain containing.
There are FAAH2 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.312 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
