Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: C6 cells, Jurkat cells
• Positive IHC detected in: human liver cancer tissue, human lung cancer tissue, human gliomas tissue; Note: suggested antigen retrieval with TE buffer pH 9.0; (*) Alternatively, antigen retrieval may be performed with citrate buffer pH 6.0

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:500-1:3000
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): IHC : 1:50-1:500

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

BCAT1, also named as branched-chain amino acid trasaminase1, is a cytosolic enzyme responsible for the reversible transamination of leucine, isoleucine and valine that catalyzes the transformation of branched-chain L-amino acids (BCAA) into branched-chain a-ketoacids (BCKA), thereby providing macromolecule precursors. It has been reported that BCAT1 is associated with tumor growth and disease progression (PMID:29255149).
