Abstract excerpt
Propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC, EC 6.4.1.3) is a mitochondrial, biotin-dependent enzyme that functions in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids, fatty acids with odd-numbered chain lengths, and other metabolites. It catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of propionyl-CoA to d-methylmalonyl-CoA. PCC is composed of two types of subunits, likely as alpha4beta4 or alpha6beta6, with the alpha subunit...
