MMUT methylmalonyl-CoA mutase

Gene ID: 4594, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MCM; MUT

Summary

This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme methylmalonyl Coenzyme A mutase. In humans, the product of this gene is a vitamin B12-dependent enzyme which catalyzes the isomerization of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, while in other species this enzyme may have different functions. Mutations in this gene may lead to various types of methylmalonic aciduria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
