ACAT1 acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1

Gene ID: 38, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: T2; MAT; ACAT; THIL

Summary

This gene encodes a mitochondrially localized enzyme that catalyzes the reversible formation of acetoacetyl-CoA from two molecules of acetyl-CoA. Defects in this gene are associated with 3-ketothiolase deficiency, an inborn error of isoleucine catabolism characterized by urinary excretion of 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyric acid, 2-methylacetoacetic acid, tiglylglycine, and butanone.
