The carboxylases allow the production of new carbon-carbon bonds by introducing HCO3- or CO2 into target molecules. Two groups of carboxylase activities, some of which are bidirectional, can be defined on the basis of the cofactor requirement, making use of biotin (EC 6.4.1.-) or vitamin K hydroquinone (EC 4.1.1.-).

Comment Propionyl-CoA carboxylase is able to function in both forward and reverse activity modes, as a ligase (carboxylase) or lyase (decarboxylase), respectively. A mRNA-nanoparticle (mRNA-3927) that encodes both the PCCA and PCCB subunits is in clinical development to replace the defective proteins in patients with the ultra-rare metabolic disease propionic acidaemia [3].
