Background
Alpha-Methylacyl-CoA Racemase (AMACR), also known as P504S, is a protein-coding gene that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolis. This enzyme is located in both mitochondria and peroxisomes and is involved in the beta-oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids and the synthesis of bile acids. AMACR catalyzes the interconversion of (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers of alpha-methyl-branched-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters. It acts only on coenzyme A thioesters and not on free fatty acids, accepting a wide range of alpha-methylacyl-CoAs as substrates.
