Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 23600
Gene name Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase
Gene symbol AMACR
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AMACRDCBAS4P504SRACERM
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5p13.2
Summary 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-oxid
