This protein enables 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amidesmolecular functionCatalysis of the hydrolysis of any non-peptide carbon-nitrogen bond in a linear amide. [GOC:ai]
N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: N-acylsphingosine + H2O = a fatty acid + sphingosine. [EC:3.5.1.23]
fatty acid amide hydrolase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the hydrolysis of a fatty acid amide to yield a fatty acid. [PMID:15952893]
ceramidase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: H2O + a ceramide = a sphingoid base + a fatty acid. [EC:3.5.1.23, GOC:pz]

Located In

This protein is located in 8 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
extracellular regioncellular componentThe space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite. [GOC:go_curators]
extracellular spacecellular componentThat part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid. [ISBN:0198547684]
nucleuscellular componentA membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent. [GOC:go_curators]
lysosomecellular componentA small lytic vacuole that has cell cycle-independent morphology found in most animal cells and that contains a variety of hydrolases, most of which have their maximal activities in the pH range 5-6. The contained enzymes display latency if properly isolated. About 40 different lysosomal hydrolases are known and lysosomes have a great variety of morphologies and functions. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732]
lysosomal lumencellular componentThe volume enclosed within the lysosomal membrane. [GOC:jl, PMID:15213228]
extracellular exosomecellular componentA vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah, GOC:vesicles, PMID:15908444, PMID:17641064, PMID:19442504, PMID:19498381, PMID:22418571, PMID:24009894]
tertiary granule lumencellular componentAny membrane-enclosed lumen that is part of a tertiary granule. [GO_REF:0000064, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:23650620]
ficolin-1-rich granule lumencellular componentAny membrane-enclosed lumen that is part of a ficolin-1-rich granule. [GO_REF:0000064, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:23650620]
