Background:

ECA39, also known as BCAT1 (branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase 1, cytosolic) is localized to the cytoplasm where it forms a homodimer. ECA39 is expressed in the brain and kidney during embryogenesis and is overexpressed in c-Myc induced tumors. BCAT2 (branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase 2, mitochondrial), also known as placental protein 18 (PP18), is expressed as two isoforms produced by alternative splicing. The first isoform of BCAT2, designated BCAT2A, is expressed in the mitochondrion, while the second isoform, designated BCAT2B, is expressed in the cytoplasm. Ubiquitously expressed, BCAT2 is also thought to act as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids.

Specificity:

BCAT1 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of BCAT1 protein.
