Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) is a peroxisomal and mitochondrial metabolic enzyme involved in branched-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation and bile acid biosynthesis pathways. AMACR Antibody / Alpha-methylacyl-CoA Racemase Antibody recognizes a lipid metabolism-associated enzyme that catalyzes the racemization of alpha-methyl branched-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters, an essential biochemical step required for normal peroxisomal fatty acid processing and metabolic homeostasis.
AMACR antibody, also referred to as p504S antibody and Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase antibody in the literature, is widely used in cancer biology and surgical pathology research due to the characteristic overexpression of AMACR in prostate adenocarcinoma and additional epithelial malignancies. Clone AMACR/1864 antibody is useful for investigating carcinoma-associated metabolic reprogramming, epithelial differentiation patterns, and tumor-associated enzyme expression in cancer research applications.
AMACR is primarily localized to peroxisomes and mitochondria where it participates in lipid metabolic pathways involving branched-chain fatty acid degradation and bile acid intermediate metabolism. Increased AMACR expression has been documented in prostate carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal neoplasms, and additional epithelial tumor types. In prostate pathology research, AMACR is well established as a diagnostically relevant carcinoma-associated biomarker frequently studied alongside basal cell markers to support characterization of prostatic adenocarcinoma.
Immunohistochemistry staining with AMACR antibodies commonly demonstrates granular cytoplasmic positivity in malignant epithelial cells, reflecting the organelle-associated localization pattern of this metabolic enzyme. Western blot analysis typically identifies AMACR near 40-42 kDa, consistent with the predicted molecular weight of the mature protein, although minor migration differences may occur depending on species, isoform expression patterns, or post-translational modification state.
Analysis of HuProt(TM) protein microarray containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins demonstrated highly selective binding of clone AMACR/1864 to AMACR. The observed Z-score and elevated S-score support strong target specificity relative to other proteins present on the array, supporting the utility of this monoclonal antibody for studies requiring selective AMACR detection. Complementary western blot and immunohistochemistry data further support the use of this clone in carcinoma-associated expression analysis and metabolism-focused cancer research applications.
AMACR has also become increasingly relevant in studies examining tumor metabolism and lipid utilization pathways, as altered fatty acid processing is now recognized as an important component of epithelial tumor progression and metabolic adaptation. The association between elevated AMACR expression and malignant transformation has contributed to the continued use of AMACR and p504S antibodies in prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and carcinoma metabolism research.
Together, the available western blot, immunohistochemistry, and protein microarray specificity data support the use of AMACR antibody clone AMACR/1864 for investigating carcinoma-associated metabolic enzyme expression and tumor-related lipid metabolism pathways.

Optimal dilution of the AMACR Antibody / Alpha-methylacyl-CoA Racemase Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
A portion of amino acids 297-394 was used as the immunogen for the AMACR antibody.
Store the AMACR antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
