Description

branched chain amino acid transaminase 1

Gene Summary

Enables branched-chain-amino-acid transaminase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-leucine biosynthetic process and L-valine biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within branched-chain amino acid catabolic process. Is active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human BCAT1 (branched chain amino acid transaminase 1).
