Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. This gene is mapped to 6p12.3. MUT requires a vitamin B12-derived prosthetic group, adenosylcobalamin (commonly referred to as AdoCbl), to function. And the product of this enzyme, succinyl-CoA, is a key molecule of the TCA cycle.
