General description
ACMSD (aminocarboxymuconate semialdehyde decarboxylase) is an enzyme involved in the kynurenine pathway. This enzyme resides in the cytoplasm, and is expressed at significant but very low levels in brain. This enzyme is a zinc-dependent amidohydrolase. This protein is composed of 336 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 40kDa.
Immunogen

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
ACMSD (aminocarboxymuconate semialdehyde decarboxylase) regulates the levels of quinolinate for de novo nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis, and thus, decides the fate of tryptophan metabolites in the kynurenine pathway. Mutation in this protein is linked with the development of familial cortical myoclonic tremor and epilepsy (FCMTE), which is an autosomal dominant disorder. This gene is linked with with cortical myoclonus, epilepsy, and parkinsonism. It is responsible for homeostasis of picolinic acid (PA), quinolinic acid (QA) and NAD. The expression of this protein is elevated in diabetes and by adrenaline, glucocorticoid and female hormones.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Human α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-ε-semialdehyde decarboxylase determines the fate of tryptophan metabolites in the kynurenine pathway by controlling the quinolinate levels for de novo nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis. The unstable nature of its substrate has made gaining insight into its reaction mechanism difficult.

Quinolinate (quinolinic acid) is a potent endogenous excitotoxin of neuronal cells. Elevation of quinolinate levels in the brain has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders, the so-called "quinolinate hypothesis." Quinolinate is non-enzymatically derived from alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-epsilon-semialdehyde (ACMS). Alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-epsilon-semialdehyde
