Entrez Gene summary for BCAT2 Gene:

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. (provided by RefSeq, Sep

2009)

GeneCards Summary for BCAT2 Gene:

BCAT2 (branched chain amino-acid transaminase 2, mitochondrial) is a protein-coding gene, and is affiliated with the lncRNA class. Diseases associated with BCAT2 include hyperleucine-isoleucinemia, and maple syrup urine disease, and among its related super-pathways are Branched-chain amino acid catabolism and Metabolic pathways. GO annotations related to this gene include L-leucine transaminase activity and L-isoleucine transaminase activity. An important paralog of this gene is BCAT1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: BCAT2_HUMAN, O15382

Function: Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine,

isoleucine, and valine. May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids
