General description
ACMSD (α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-epsilon-semialdehyde decarboxylase) is an amidohydrolase, which is dependent on zinc for its activity. It is a 40kDa cytoplasmic protein.

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 (α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-epsilon-semialdehyde decarboxylase) is involved in kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation. It produces α-aminomuconate-e-semialdehyde (AMS) by reacting with α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-ε-semialdehyde (ACMS). ACMS is very unstable and quickly converts to quinolinate, which in turn is an excitotoxin. Quinolinate is supposedly involved in the pathophysiology of neurodiseases such as Alzheimer′s disease (AD), epilepsy and Huntington′s disease. Therefore, mutations in ACMSD gene are linked with cortical myoclonus, epilepsy, and parkinsonism. This protein is also involved in the homeostasis of picolinic acid (PA), quinolinic acid (QA) and NAD. This enzyme determines whether tryptophan will be converted into PA or NAD through QA formation. It might also have potential for the treatment of cerebral malaria. This gene locus is also linked with Parkinson′s disease risk.
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.

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
