Gene information for BCAT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID587
Official gene symbolBCAT2
Full namebranched chain amino-acid transaminase 2, mitochondrial
Aliases,BCAM,BCATM,BCT2,PP18,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a branched chain aminotransferase found in mitochondria. The encoded protein forms a dimer that catalyzes the first step in the production of the branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
