NCIt synonyms : Enoyl-Coenzyme A Hydratase; AU RNA-Binding Protein; AU RNA-Binding Protein/enoyl-Coenzyme A Hydratase; AU-Specific RNA Binding Protein; MGA Type I; AUH; 3-Methylglutaconyl-CoA Hydratase; AU-RNA Binding Protein; AU-Binding Protein/Enoyl-CoA Hydratase; EC 4.2.1.18; AU-Specific RNA-Binding Protein/Enoyl-CoA Hydratase; AU RNA Binding Protein;
NCIt definition : Methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase, mitochondrial (339 aa, 36 kDa) is encoded by the
human AUH gene. This protein is involved in amino acid catabolism.;
NCIt note : Methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase, mitochondrial binds to the AU-rich element (ARE),
a common element found in the 3' UTR of rapidly decaying mRNA such as c-fos, c-myc
and granulocyte/ macrophage colony stimulating factor. ARE elements are involved in
directing RNA to rapid degradation and deadenylation.;
