Secondary Information

Protein Function Methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase (MCE) is an enzyme involved in the propionyl-CoA metabolism that is responsible for the degradation of branched amino acids and odd-chain fatty acids.
Biochemical Properties This protein is involved in the flow of D-methylmalonyl-CoA to L-methylmalonyl-CoA----tricarboxylic acid cycle

Additional Comments The sequence similarity to an MCE of known structure was high enough to permit a three-dimensional model to be built, suggesting conservation of ligand and metal binding sites. Comparison with corresponding sequences from a variety of organisms shows more than 1/6 of the sequence is completely conserved.
