Specifications
Target Information
Porcine branched chain aminotransferase 1 (pBCAT1) is an enzyme that plays a pivotal role in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), specifically leucine, isoleucine, and valine, in pigs. BCAT1 is involved in the transamination process, where it catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from a BCAA to an alpha-keto acid, thus regulating the metabolic flux of these essential amino acids. This enzyme is crucial for maintaining amino acid homeostasis and energy balance within the body. The activity of pBCAT1 is tightly regulated and can be influenced by factors such as nutritional status, exercise, and metabolic stress, highlighting its importance in various physiological and pathological conditions.
