Mmut Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including cobalamin binding activity; methylmalonyl-CoA mutase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in carboxylic acid metabolic process; positive regulation of GTPase activity; and succinyl-CoA biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within post-embryonic development. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in methylmalonic aciduria due to methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency. Orthologous to human MMUT (methylmalonyl-CoA mutase).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Mmut often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
