Summary
ACCS (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase homolog (inactive), HGNC:23989) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p11.2, encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase-like protein 1 (Q96QU6). Does not catalyze the synthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate but is capable of catalyzing the deamination of L-vinylglycine.
Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in amino acid metabolic process.
