Gene: PCCA
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric mitochondrial enzyme Propionyl-CoA carboxylase. PCCA encodes the biotin-binding region of this enzyme. Mutations in either PCCA or PCCB (encoding the beta subunit) lead to an enzyme deficiency resulting in propionic acidemia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 13
Location in Chromosome : 13q32.3
Description of this Gene: propionyl-CoA carboxylase subunit alpha
Type of Gene: protein-coding
