Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type C protein also known as MMACHC is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MMACHC gene.^[3]

Function

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.^[3] The MMACHC gene product catalyzes the decyanation of cyanocobalamin as well as the dealkylation of alkylcobalamins including methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.^[4] This function has also been attributed to cobalamin reductases.^[5] The MMACHC gene product and cobalamin reductases enable the interconversion of cyano- and alkylcobalamins.^[6][7]

Clinical significance

Mutations are associated with methylmalonic acidemia.^{[3][8][9][10]}
