Abhd6 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable monoacylglycerol lipase activity and phospholipase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including monoacylglycerol catabolic process; negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and phospholipid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within long-term synaptic depression; negative regulation of cell migration; and regulation of endocannabinoid signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in late endosome membrane; lysosomal membrane; and mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Predicted to be active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human ABHD6 (abhydrolase domain containing 6, acylglycerol lipase).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Abhd6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
