FAMILY

class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as BCAT2_HUMAN, BCAT2, BCATM, BCT2, ECA40. Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine (PubMed:8702755, PubMed:25653144, PubMed:17050531). May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids (By similarity). Homodimer.
