Fatty acid amide hydrolase 2 or FAAH2 (EC 3.5.1.99, oleamide hydrolase 2, anandamide amidohydrolase 2) is a member of the serine hydrolase family of enzymes.[1]
Fatty acid amide hydrolase 2 degrades endocannabinoids and defects in this enzyme have been associated with neurologic and psychiatric disorders.[2]
