Identification
NameBranched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, mitochondrial
Synonyms
  • BCAT
  • Protein ECA39
  • Protein TWT1
Gene NameBAT1
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in catalytic activity
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Appears to be involved in the regulation of the transition from G1 to S phase in the cell cycle. High copy suppressor of a temperature-sensitive mutation in the ABC transporter, ATM1
