Also known as RACEP504S
Summary
AMACR (alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase, HGNC:451) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p13.2, encoding Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (Q9UHK6). Catalyzes the interconversion of (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers of alpha-methyl-branched-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters.
This gene encodes a racemase. The encoded enzyme interconverts pristanoyl-CoA and C27-bile acylCoAs between their (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers. The conversion to the (S)-stereoisomers is necessary for degradation of these substrates by peroxisomal beta-oxidation. Encoded proteins from this locus localize to both mitochondria and peroxisomes. Mutations in this gene may be associated with adult-onset sensorimotor neuropathy, pigmentary retinopathy, and adrenomyeloneuropathy due to defects in bile acid synthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the upstream neighboring C1QTNF3 (C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 3) gene.

Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase — Q9UHK6 (reviewed: Q9UHK6)
Alternative names: 2-methylacyl-CoA racemase
All UniProt accessions (2): D6RB81, Q9UHK6
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the interconversion of (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers of alpha-methyl-branched-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters. Acts only on coenzyme A thioesters, not on free fatty acids, and accepts as substrates a wide range of alpha-methylacyl-CoAs, including pristanoyl-CoA, trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA (an intermediate in bile acid synthesis), and arylpropionic acids like the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid) but neither 3-methyl-branched nor linear-chain acyl-CoAs.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer.
Subcellular location. Peroxisome. Mitochondrion.
Disease relevance. Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency (AMACRD) [MIM:614307] A rare autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder characterized by elevated plasma concentrations of pristanic acid C27-bile-acid intermediates, and adult onset of variable neurodegenerative symptoms affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. Features may include seizures, visual failure, sensorimotor neuropathy, spasticity, migraine, and white matter hyperintensities on brain imaging. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Congenital bile acid synthesis defect 4 (CBAS4) [MIM:214950] A disorder characterized by the presence of trihydroxycoprostanic acid in the bile and absence of cholic acid. Patients manifest neonatal jaundice, intrahepatic cholestasis and bile duct deficiency. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; bile acid biosynthesis. Lipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism.
Miscellaneous. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Expression is elevated in prostate cancer.
Similarity. Belongs to the CoA-transferase III family.
