Alpha-Methylacyl-CoA Racemase

Preferred Label : Alpha-Methylacyl-CoA Racemase;

NCIt synonyms : X-methylacyl-CoA Racemase; 2-methylacyl-CoA Racemase; AMACR; EC 5.1.99.4;

NCIt definition : Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (382 aa, 42 kDa) is encoded by the human AMACR gene. This protein plays a role in the beta-oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids.;

NCIt note : Overexpression of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase has been found in several carcinomas, thus it is considered an important biomarker in the pathogenesis of breast, prostate, and colon cancers.;
