QuickView for BCAT2 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

BCAT2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

branched chain amino acid transaminase 2

Synonyms:

BCAM, BCATM, BCT2, PP18, branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, mitochondrial, branched chain amino-acid transaminase 2, mitochondrial, branched chain aminotransferase 2, mitochondrial, placental protein 18

Genomic Location:

Chr 19: 53990131-54006113

Description:

This 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.
