[cite web | title = Entrez Gene: AMACR alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=23600| accessdate = ] ]The AMACR protein helps to metabolize certain fatty acids within the body. Several studies have suggested that AMACR can be used as a prostate cancer biomarker [Rubin MA, Bismar TA, Andren O, et al. Decreased {alpha}-methylacyl CoA racemase expression in localized prostate cancer is associated with an increased rate of biochemical recurrence and cancer-specific death.
