AMACR
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. Belongs to the CaiB/BaiF CoA-transferase family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
