Official Symbol: bcat-1
Official Full Name: Branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, cytosolic
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00001149
Locus tag: CELE_K02A4.1
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00001149
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)

Summary: Predicted to enable branched-chain-amino-acid transaminase activity. Involved in branched-chain amino acid catabolic process; embryo development; and nematode larval development. Acts upstream of or within determination of adult lifespan. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; intestine; nervous system; pharynx; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypervalinemia and hyperleucine-isoleucinemia. Orthologous to several human genes including BCAT2 (branched chain amino acid transaminase 2).
