Aminoacylase 1, aa1-408, Recombinant, Human (ACY1)

Aminoacylase-1 is a cytosolic, homodimeric, zinc-binding enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acylated L-amino acids to L-amino acids and acyl group, and has been postulated to function in the catabolism and salvage of acylatedaas. Defects in ACY1 are the cause of aminoacylase-1 deficiency (ACY1D). ACY1D results in a metabolic disorder manifesting with encephalopathy, unspecific psychomotor delay, psychomotor delay with atrophy of the vermis and syringomyelia, marked muscular hypotonia or normal clinical features. Epileptic seizures are a frequent feature. All affected individuals exhibit markedly increased urinary excretion of several N-acetylatedaas. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-408 of human recombinant ACY1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.
