Application
Anti-FAAH antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions
FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) gene encodes a member of the amidase signature (AS) family. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of endocannabinoid, anandamide related fatty acid amides. The endocannabinoids are involved in the several signaling processes in the nervous system and FAAH controls both the amplitude and duration of behavioral effects of endocannabinoids in mammals. FAAH, therefore, has an effect on human behavior. Polymorphism in this gene may be associated with disorders such as endocannabinoid-induced appetite stimulation and overweight disorders, problem of drug use or abuse. The cannabinoids are bioactive lipids mediators that may have a protective effect against tumor growth. Overexpression of FAAH has been implicated in invasion of prostate carcinoma cells and in prostate tumorigenesis.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Overweight and obesity associated with a missense polymorphism in fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH).
J C Sipe et al.
International journal of obesity (2005), 29(7), 755-759 (2005-04-06)
The brain endogenous cannabinoid system modulates reward and craving pathways and consequently may affect body weight. A naturally occurring missense polymorphism in the gene encoding fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the primary enzyme for inactivation of endocannabinoids, is associated with
Adolescent exposure to low-dose Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol depletes the ovarian reserve in female mice.
Jinhwan Lim et al.
Toxicological sciences : an official journal of the Society of Toxicology, 193(1), 31-47 (2023-03-14)
Cannabis use by adolescents is widespread, but its effects on the ovaries remain largely unknown. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exerts its pharmacological effects by activating, and in some conditions hijacking, cannabinoid receptors (CBRs). We hypothesized that adolescent exposure to THC affects ovarian

Heavy use of cannabis (marijuana) has been associated with decreased semen quality, which may reflect disruption of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the male reproductive tract by exogenous cannabinoids. Components of ECS have been previously described in human spermatozoa and
