Monoacylglycerol lipase ABHD6 also known as abhydrolase domain-containing protein 6 or 2-arachidonoylglycerol hydrolase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ABHD6 gene.
Function[edit]
ABHD6 is a serine hydrolyzing enzyme that possesses typical α/β-hydrolase family domains. ABHD6 was first studied because of its over-expression in certain forms of tumours.[1]
ABHD6 has been linked to the endocannabinoid system as it controls the accumulation of 2-AG at the cannabinoid receptors.[2]
Alongside MAGL and ABHD12, ABHD6 controls 99% of 2-AG signalling in the brain.[3]
