Function
Hydrolyzes monounsaturated substrate anandamide preferentially as compared to polyunsaturated substrates. 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.
Reactome Pathway
Arachidonic acid metabolism (R-HSA-2142753 )
BioCyc Pathway
MetaCyc:HS09254-MON
