This locus encodes both the light and heavy subunits of acyloxyacyl hydrolase. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of acyloxylacyl-linked fatty acyl chains from bacterial lipopolysaccharides, effectively detoxifying these molecules. The encoded protein may play a role in modulating host inflammatory response to gram-negative bacteria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.,AOAH,Signal Transduction,Endocrine & Metabolism,Lipid Metabolism,Immunology & Inflammation,Cell Intrinsic Innate Immunity Signaling Pathway,AOAH
