Full name:

branched chain amino-acid transaminase 2, mitochondrial

Synonyms:

BCAM; BCT2; PP18; BCATM

Swissprot:

O15382

Gene Accession:

BC001900

Purity:

>85%, as determined by Coomassie blue stained SDS-PAGE

Expression system:

Escherichia coli

Tags:

His tag C-Terminus, GST tag N-Terminus

Background:

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.
