Anti-BCAT2 / PP18

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. BCAT2, branched-chain aminotransferase 2, also called Placental protein 18, 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. The human BCAT2 gene is mapped to 19q13. Protein function: Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine (PubMed:17050531, PubMed:25653144, PubMed:8702755). May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids. [The UniProt Consortium]
