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]
