Also Known as BCT2; Bcatm; mBcat

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 64203

Summary

Enables branched-chain-amino-acid transaminase activity. Involved in isoleucine catabolic process; lactation; and leucine biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Orthologous to human BCAT2 (branched chain amino acid transaminase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
