Abstract

Abhydrolase domain containing (Abhd) gene was a small group belongs to α/β hydrolase superfamily. Known members of this group are all found to be involved in important biochemical processes and related to various diseases. In this paper, we report the tissue distribution, subcellular location and differential distribution among cancer cell lines of Abhd6, one unannotated member of this group.
