About AMACR

Cytogenetic location: 5p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:33,986,165-34,008,050 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 38.3), liver (RPKM 31.1) and 22 other tissues.

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-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]
