Anti-Methylmalonyl Coenzyme A mutase Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 2D6) Fluoro647 Conjugated

Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. This gene is mapped to 6p12.3. MUT requires a vitamin B12-derived prosthetic group, adenosylcobalamin (commonly referred to as AdoCbl), to function. And the product of this enzyme, succinyl-CoA, is a key molecule of the TCA cycle.

Involved in the degradation of several amino acids, odd-chain fatty acids and cholesterol via propionyl-CoA to the tricarboxylic acid cycle. MCM has different functions in other species.
