Function

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the translocation of cobalamin into the mitochondrion, where it is used in the final steps of adenosylcobalamin synthesis. Adenosylcobalamin is a coenzyme required for the activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase.[6]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the MMAA gene are associated with methylmalonic acidemia.[5][7]
