Structural highlights
Disease
[ABCD4_HUMAN] Methylmalonic acidemia with homocystinuria, type cblJ. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[ABCD4_HUMAN] May be involved in intracellular processing of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). Could play a role in the lysosomal release of vitamin B12 into the cytoplasm.[1]
