Primary Identifier | MGI:104861 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 12035 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display abnormal amino acid metabilism in T cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
