Background: Aminoacylase/ACY1

The human ACY1 gene encodes Aminoacylase, a member of the M20 family of metalloproteases (1). ACY1 plays a general role in the cytosolic breakdown of acetylated amino acids generated during protein degradation. It also interacts with sphingosine kinase type 1, which is involved in promoting cell growth and inhibiting apoptosis of tumor cells (2). The full-length protein is expressed and the purified enzyme is active as described in Activity Assay Protocol.
