    Summary
    Enables branched-chain-amino-acid transaminase activity. Acts upstream of or within branched-chain amino acid catabolic process. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; craniocervical region bone; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BCAT1 (branched chain amino acid transaminase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
