2.6.1.42
Description Branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase
Alternative names Transaminase B;
BCAT;
Catalyzed reaction L-leucine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments -!- Also acts on L-isoleucine and L-valine.
-!- Different from EC 2.6.1.66.
The human cytosolic enzyme is a direct target for c-Myc regulation, and seems somehow involved in apoptosis.
Prosite PROSITE; PDOC00618;
PDB 1I1K; 1EKF; 1EKV; 3UZO; 4DQN:;
Organisms -All -Eubacteria -Archea -Plants -Fungi -Metazoa -Human
