Protein name

Branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, mitochondrial (BCAT(m)) (EC 2.6.1.42) (Placental protein 18) (PP18)

Protein function

Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine (PubMed:17050531, PubMed:25653144, PubMed:8702755). May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids
