The following fatty acid amide hydrolase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of fatty acid amide hydrolase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the FAAH gene. 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 579 residues, a mass of 63.1 kDa, and is a member of the Amidase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be highly expressed in the brain, small intestine, pancreas, skeletal muscle and testis. This protein may also be known as PSAB, fatty-acid amide hydrolase 1, anandamide amidohydrolase 1, fatty acid ester hydrolase, oleamide hydrolase 1, and FAAH-1.
There are fatty acid amide hydrolase ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
