Background: Acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA carboxylases slowly form ethylmalonyl-CoA as a side activity.Results: Anew enzyme, ethylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase, was identified in mammalian tissues and shown to be encoded by the ECHDC1 gene. Knocking down this gene increased the formation of ethylmalonate from butyrate in cultured cells.Conclusion: Ethylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase may be a new "metabolite proofreading" enzyme.Significance: Its deficiency may cause ethylmalonic aciduria.
