About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for AMACR:
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. (provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: AMACR_HUMAN, Q9UHK6
Function: Racemization of 2-methyl-branched fatty acid CoA esters. Responsible for the conversion of pristanoyl-CoA and
C27-bile acyl-CoAs to their (S)-stereoisomers

  • Defects in AMACR are the cause of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency (AMACRD) [MIM:614307]. AMACRD
  • results in elevated plasma concentrations of pristanic acid C27-bile-acid intermediates. It can be associated with
    polyneuropathy, retinitis pigmentosa, epilepsy
  • Defects in AMACR are the cause of congenital bile acid synthesis defect type 4 (CBAS4) [MIM:214950]; also
  • known as cholestasis, intrahepatic, with defective conversion of trihydroxycoprostanic acid to cholic acid or
    trihydroxycoprostanic acid in bile. Clinical features include neonatal jaundice, intrahepatic cholestasis, bile duct
    deficiency and absence of cholic acid from bile
