methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase

methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase
meth·yl·mal·o·nyl-CoA epim·er·ase (meth″əl-malґə-nəl ko-aґ ə-pimґər-ās) [EC 5.1.99.1] an enzyme of the isomerase class that catalyzes the equilibration of the D- and L- isomers of methylmalonyl CoA. The reaction is part of the route by which three-carbon compounds from some amino acids and from odd-number chain length fatty acids are used as fuels. Called also methylmalonyl-CoA racemase.
