Background Information

BCAT1, also named branched-chain amino acid trasaminase1, is a cytosolic enzyme responsible for the reversible transamination of leucine, isoleucine, and valine that catalyzes the transformation of branched-chain L-amino acids (BCAA) into branched-chain a-ketoacids (BCKA), thereby providing macromolecule precursors. It has been reported that BCAT1 is associated with tumor growth and disease progression (PMID:29255149). The 13640-1-AP antibody detects the bands around 43-45 kDa for different isoforms and higher molecular weight for phosphorylation modification of this protein.
