Background Information

Branched-chain amino acid transaminase 2 (BCAT2) is an important enzyme in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) catabolism that reversibly catalyzes the initial step of BCAA degradation to branched-chain acyl-CoA. In humans, BCAT2 encodes a mitochondrial protein that is ubiquitously expressed in all organs (except hepatocytes) (PMID:32467562). Moreover, other reports showed that overexpressed BCAT2 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells enhanced cell proliferation and survival in vitro and in vivo (PMID:35663242).
