the enzyme is involved in the regulation of oxidative stress, and, by direct interaction, of sphingosine kinase type 1, SphK1, which has a role in cell growth promotion and inhibition of tumor cell apoptosis, Acy1 induces redistribution of SphK1 to the plasma membrane from cytosol, overview
the enzyme is involved in the degradation of chemotactic N-formyl peptides and plays a protective role in degrading bacterial and mitochondrial N-formylated peptide together with the alpha-N-acylpeptide hydrolase, EC 3.4.19.1
the enzyme shows high hydrolytic activity towards various N-acetyl-L-amino acids and N-(middle/long)-chain-fatty-acyl-L-amino acids with a preference for the acyl derivatives of L-Met, L-Ala, L-Cys, etc

pAcy1 catalyzes the highly stereoselective acylation of amino acids, a useful conversion for the preparation of optically pure N-acyl-L-amino acids, the catalytic base is E146. pAcy1 from pig kidney displays a marked preference for short-chain acyl moieties and non-branched aliphatic L-amino acids. Modeling of pAcy1 catalyzed N-acylation, overview
