A corrigendum on
Current Knowledge on the Function of α-Methyl Acyl-CoA Racemase in Human Diseases
by Kong, G., Lee, H., Tran, Q., Kim, C., Park, J., Kwon, S., Kim, S.-H., Park, J. Front. Mol. Biosci. 7:153. doi:10.3389/fmolb.2020.00153
In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. The cholesterol structure should be the chiral for omega oxidation, instead of the chiral structure used in the figure; as both groups are methyl, we mentioned the oxidation of omega by adding CH2OH to carbon 15 to create a chiral center. The corrected Figure 2 appears below.

Furthermore, in the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Figure 6 as published. In the thioester part of the AMACR structure, the keto group was mistakenly omitted. The correct Figure 6 and legend appear below.

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
Keywords: AMACR, branched-chain fatty acid, cancer development, B-oxidation, lipid metabolism
