ACAT1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ACAT1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q22.3 and is approximately 31 kb in length. This allele, which encodes acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, mitochondrial protein, is involved in the conversion of fatty acids into acetyl-CoA. Loss of function mutations in the gene are associated with alpha-methylacetoacetic aciduria.
