Pathophysiological mechanisms of complications associated with propionic acidemia.

Abstract excerpt

Propionic acidemia (PA) is a genetic metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the mitochondrial enzyme, propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC), which is responsible for converting propionyl-CoA to methylmalonyl-CoA for further metabolism in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. When this process is disrupted, propionyl-CoA and its metabolites accumulate, leading to a variety of complications including life-threatening cardiac...
