Abstract excerpt
Propionic acidemia is an autosomal recessive metabolic disease resulting from a deficiency of propionyl CoA carboxylase (PCC) activity. To investigate the genetic basis of propionic acidemia, we isolated a cDNA encoding the precursor of the beta subunit of human PCC (beta PCC). The cloned cDNA sequence was 1,832 bp long and the open reading frame of 1,617 nucleotides encoded a polypeptide of 539 amino acids with...
