epitope corresponding to amino acids 144-353 mapping within an internal region of BCAT2 of human origin
Modification Notes
Class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family members ECA39 and BCAT2 are both enzymes that catalyze the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine. ECA39, also known as BCAT1 (branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase 1, cytosolic) is localized to the cytoplasm where it forms a homodimer. ECA39 is expressed in the brain and kidney during embryogenesis and is overexpressed in c-Myc induced tumors. BCAT2 (branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase 2, mitochondrial), also known as placental protein 18 (PP18), is expressed as two isoforms produced by alternative splicing. The first isoform of BCAT2, designated BCAT2A, is expressed in the mitochondrion, while the second isoform, designated BCAT2B, is expressed in the cytoplasm. Ubiquitously expressed, BCAT2 is also thought to act as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids.
