Protein attributes

Sequence length	392 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids.
Catalytic activity	L-leucine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate. L-isoleucine + 2-oxoglutarate = (S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate. L-valine + 2-oxoglutarate = 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + L-glutamate.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal phosphate. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12
Subunit structure	Homodimer. Ref.9
Subcellular location	Isoform A: Mitochondrion. Isoform B: Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity	Ubiquitous.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAB53087.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
