MMADHC
Function
Involved in cobalamin metabolism and trafficking (PubMed:18385497, PubMed:23415655, PubMed:24722857, PubMed:26364851). Plays a role in regulating the biosynthesis and the proportion of two coenzymes, methylcob(III)alamin (MeCbl) and 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) (PubMed:18385497, PubMed:23415655, PubMed:24722857). Promotes oxidation of cob(II)alamin bound to MMACHC (PubMed:26364851). The processing of cobalamin in the cytosol occurs in a multiprotein complex composed of at least MMACHC, MMADHC, MTRR (methionine synthase reductase) and MTR (methionine synthase) which may contribute to shuttle safely and efficiently cobalamin towards MTR in order to produce methionine (PubMed:27771510).
Involvement in disease
Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblD type
MAHCD
An autosomal recessive disorder of cobalamin metabolism characterized by decreased levels of the coenzymes adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) and methylcobalamin (MeCbl). Clinical features include developmental delay, hyotonia, intellectual disability, seizures, megaloblastic anemia. Some patients manifest combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria (referred to as cblD original), some have only isolated homocystinuria (cblD variant 1), and others have only methylmalonic aciduria (cblD variant 2).
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed at high levels.
