Amacr - alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase

Predicted to enable alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in bile acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within isoprenoid catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cranium; genitourinary system; liver; and respiratory system. Used to study alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency; congenital bile acid synthesis defect 4; and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human AMACR (alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
