Description
AMACR (alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase) has been recently described as prostate cancer-specific gene that encodes a protein involved in the beta-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids.Expression of AMACR protein is found in prostatic adenocarcinoma but not in benign prostatic tissue.It stains premalignant lesions of prostate: high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and atypical adenomatous hyperplasia.AMACR can be used as a positive marker for PIN.Defects in AMACR are the cause of congenital bile acid synthesis defect type 4 (CBAS4); 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.

Descripción
Alpha-Methylacyl-CoA Racemase (AMACR) is a mitochondrial and peroxisomal enzyme that catalyzes the racemization of alpha-methyl-branched fatty acid derivatives and bile acid intermediates, enabling their further metabolism via beta-oxidation. AMACR is critical in lipid metabolism, particularly in the breakdown of dietary branched-chain fatty acids and the processing of bile acids derived from cholesterol. It is highly expressed in tissues with active fatty acid metabolism, such as the liver and kidneys. Dysregulation or mutations in the AMACR gene are associated with metabolic disorders, including adult-onset sensory neuropathy and bile acid metabolism defects. Additionally, AMACR is a well-established biomarker for prostate cancer and other malignancies, as its overexpression is linked to cancer cell metabolism and tumor progression. Targeting AMACR enzymatic activity is being explored as a therapeutic strategy in cancer and metabolic disorders.

AMACR antibody
AMACR(Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase) belongs to the CaiB/BaiF CoA-transferase family. It is a mitochondrial and peroxisomal enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 2R stereoisomers of phytanic and pristanic acid to their S counterparts. AMACR has previously been shown to be a highly sensitive marker for colorectal and clinically localized prostate cancer(PCa). However, AMACR expression is down-regulated at the transcript and protein level in hormone-refractory metastatic PCa, suggesting a hormone-dependent expression of AMACR(PMID:12213712). It has 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing ang it can form a a dimer of 70-75 kDa(PMID:21812041). Defects in AMACR are the cause of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency(AMACRD) and congenital bile acid synthesis defect type 4(CBAS4).
