FAAH enzyme kinetics for anandamide metabolism in FAAH-expressing cells

VmaxKm
(mol/min/mg protein) × 1011 μM
RBL-2H32.3  ± 0.34.0  ± 1.3
FAAH/HeLa4.3  ± 0.51-a 2.7  ± 0.1

All values represent means ± S.E. of three separate experiments performed in duplicate. Statistical comparisons of Vmax and Km values were performed using a two-tailed t test.
