MCEE methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase

Gene ID: 84693, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MCE; MMCE; GLOD2

Summary

The product of this gene catalyzes the interconversion of D- and L-methylmalonyl-CoA during the degradation of branched chain amino acids. odd chain-length fatty acids, and other metabolites. Mutations in this gene result in methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase deficiency, which is presented as mild to moderate methylmalonic aciduria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
