Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** ACY1 is a member of the aminoacylase family, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of aminoacyl esters to release free amino acids. This enzyme is highly expressed in various tissues, including the brain, kidney, and immune cells, such as transitional stage B cells and GABAergic interneurons. ACY1 exhibits a high degree of specificity for certain amino acids, including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. **Pathways and Functions:** ACY1 plays a pivotal role in various metabolic pathways, including: 1. **Amino acid metabolism:** ACY1 hydrolyzes aminoacyl esters, releasing free amino acids that can be utilized by cells for protein synthesis, neurotransmission, and other cellular processes. 2. **Paracetamol metabolism:** ACY1 is involved in the metabolism of paracetamol (acetaminophen), a widely used analgesic and antipyretic agent. Defects in ACY1 have been linked to impaired paracetamol metabolism, leading to enhanced toxicity. 3. **Aflatoxin activation and detoxification:** ACY1 has been implicated in the activation and detoxification of aflatoxins, a class of mycotoxins produced by certain fungi. This enzyme helps to convert aflatoxins into less toxic compounds, thereby reducing the risk of aflatoxin-induced hepatocellular carcinoma. 4. **Cytosolic amino acid transport:** ACY1 is involved in the transport of amino acids across cell membranes, regulating the availability of these essential nutrients for cellular metabolism. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of ACY1 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Encephalopathy:** Defects in ACY1 have been linked to encephalopathy, a condition characterized by brain dysfunction and impaired cognitive function. 2. **Paracetamol-induced liver injury:** Impaired ACY1 activity has been associated with increased risk of paracetamol-induced liver injury and hepatocellular carcinoma. 3. **Aflatoxin-related diseases:** ACY1 plays a critical role in the detoxification of aflatoxins, and defects in this enzyme may contribute to the development of aflatoxin-related diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma. 4. **Metabolic disorders:** ACY1 is involved in the regulation of amino acid metabolism, and dysregulation of this enzyme may contribute to the development of metabolic disorders, such as hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy. In conclusion, ACY1 is a multifunctional enzyme that plays a critical role in immune regulation, metabolism, and detoxification. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of understanding the function and regulation of this enzyme in maintaining human health.
