propionyl-CoA carboxylase subunit beta

The protein is the beta subunit of propionyl-CoA carboxylase, a mitochondrial enzyme that catabolizes propionyl-CoA and functions as a dodecamer of six alpha and six beta subunits. Mutations cause propionic acidemia, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Loss-of-function mutations result in deficient enzyme activity leading to accumulation of toxic metabolites.
