Corrigendum: Current Knowledge on the Function of α-Methyl Acyl-CoA Racemase in Human Diseases

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.
