    Summary
    This gene encodes a mitochondrially localized enzyme that catalyzes the reversible formation of acetoacetyl-CoA from two molecules of acetyl-CoA. Defects in this gene are associated with 3-ketothiolase deficiency, an inborn error of isoleucine catabolism characterized by urinary excretion of 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyric acid, 2-methylacetoacetic acid, tiglylglycine, and butanone.

    Annotation information
    Note: ACAT1 (Gene ID: 38) and SOAT1 (Gene ID: 6646) share the ACAT1 symbol/alias in common. ACAT1 is a widely used alternative name for sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1), which can be confused with the official symbol for ACAT1 (acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1, GeneID 38). [01 Jun 2018]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
