Biochem/physiol Actions MCA is a diagnostic marker metabolite which cumulates in body fluids of patients suffering from the following inherited metabolic diseases: propionic acidemia (PA), methylmalonic aciduris (MMA), holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency (HCSD)1,2. There MCA occurs as a mixture of (2S,3S)- and (2R,3S)-stereoisomers. |
