Abstract excerpt
Propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) is a mitochondrial, biotin-dependent enzyme involved in the catabolism of branched chain amino acids, odd chain fatty acids, and other metabolites. PCC consists of non-identical subunits, alpha and beta, encoded by the PCCA and PCCB genes, respectively. Inherited deficiency of PCC due to mutations in either the PCCA or the PCCB gene results in propionic acidemia (PA), a clinically...
