It demonstrate that ABHD6 affect Bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate (BMP) metabolism in mice and humans.
Title: Metabolic disease and ABHD6 alter the circulating bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate profile in mice and humans.
We discovered a regulatory role of ABHD6 in human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) through modulating the local abundance of its substrate, the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG), and elucidated a hitherto unknown cannabinoid receptor 2-mediated regulatory role of 2-AG on IFN-alpha induction by pDCs.
Title: Cutting Edge: Dysregulated Endocannabinoid-Rheostat for Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Activation in a Systemic Lupus Endophenotype.
Data suggest that ABHD6 plays important role in regulation of signaling via monoacylglycerols (MAGs) in both central and peripheral tissues; alterations in MAG signaling are involved in type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. [REVIEW]
Title: Monoacylglycerol signalling and ABHD6 in health and disease.
The hydrolase activity of ABHD6 was not required for the effects of ABHD6 on AMPAR function in either neurons or transfected HEK293T cells. Thus, these findings reveal a novel and unexpected mechanism governing AMPAR trafficking at synapses through ABHD6.
Title: α/β-Hydrolase domain-containing 6 (ABHD6) negatively regulates the surface delivery and synaptic function of AMPA receptors.
data suggest that ABHD6 controls BMP catabolism and is therefore part of the late endosomal/lysosomal lipid-sorting machinery

Results confirm the genetic association of the locus 3p14.3 with systemic lupus erythematosus in Europeans and point to the ABHD6 and not PXK, as the major susceptibility gene in the region.

Title: Developmental trajectory of the endocannabinoid system in human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
Data show that the three hydrolases are genuine MAG lipases; medium-chain saturated MAGs were the best substrates for hABHD6 and hMAGL, whereas hABHD12 preferred the 1 (3)- and 2-isomers of arachidonoylglycerol.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
