N-acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NAAA gene.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Function[edit]

This gene encodes an N-acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing enzyme which is highly similar to acid ceramidase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.^[7]
