Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type C protein (MMACHC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MMACHC gene. [5]
The C-terminal region of the product of the MMACHC gene is similar to TonB, a bacterial protein involved in energy transduction for cobalamin uptake. [5] The MMACHC gene product catalyzes the decyanation of cyanocobalamin as well as the dealkylation of alkylcobalamins including methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. [6] This function has also been attributed to cobalamin reductases. [7] The MMACHC gene product and cobalamin reductases enable the interconversion of cyano- and alkylcobalamins. [8] [9]
Mutations are associated with combined homocystinuria and methylmalonic acidemia. [5] [10] [11] [12] [13]
