ACY1 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone AT1E2)

Aminoacylase-1, also designated N-acyl-L-amino-acid amidohydrolase or ACY1, is a member of the largest metallopeptidase family called M20A. Aminoacylase-1 is a zinc-binding homodimeric enzyme expressed in kidney, brain, placenta and spleen. It is the most abundant of the aminoacylases. 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. All affected individuals exhibit markedly increased urinary excretion of several N-acetylated amino acids.
