Rabbit Anti-MMACHC antibody
The exact function of the protein encoded by this gene is not known, however, its SLCterminal region shows similarity to TonB, a bacterial protein involved in energy transduction for cobalamin (vitamin B12) uptake. Hence, it is postulated that this protein may have a role in the binding and intracellular trafficking of cobalamin. Mutations in this gene are associated with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblC. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Function:
May be involved in the binding and intracellular trafficking of cobalamin (vitamin B12).
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in fetal liver. Also expressed in spleen, lymph node, thymus and bone marrow. Weakly or not expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes.
DISEASE:
Defects in MMACHC are the cause of methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblC (MMACHC) [MIM:277400].
MMACHC is a disorder of cobalamin metabolism characterized by decreased levels of the coenzymes adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) and methylcobalamin (MeCbl). Affected individuals may have developmental, hematologic, neurologic, metabolic, ophthalmologic, and dermatologic clinical findings. Although considered a disease of infancy or childhood, some individuals develop symptoms in adulthood.
Similarity:
Belongs to the MMACHC family.
