Abstract
An assay for methylmalonyl CoA mutase activity is described. Succinyl CoA produced in this method is separated from the substrate, methylmalonyl CoA, by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and is quantified. This method is useful to differentiate mutase apoenzyme deficiency (mut0, mut-) and the defect in deoxyadenosylcobalamin synthesis using fibroblasts cultured in high concentration of supplementary hydroxocobalamin. In methylmalonic acidemia, measurement of lymphocytes mutase activity offers therapeutical and prognostic informations.Entities:
