SCC Gene Description

Gene name BCAT3
AGI ID AT3G49680
Gene length 413
Uniprot ID Q9M401
Protein Name Branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase 3 chloroplastic
Synonym ATBCAT-3
EC number EC 2.6.1.42 EC 2.6.1.88
Entrez Gene 824130
Refseq mrna NM_114828
Refseq protein NP_566923
Function Metabolite profiling of bcat3-1 single and bcat3-1/bcat4-2 double knockout mutants showed significant alterations in the profiles of both amino acids and GSLs. The changes in GSL proportions suggest that BCAT3 most likely catalyzes the terminal steps in the chain elongation process leading to short-chain GSLs (Knill et al. 2008)
Group GSL side chain elongation
Reference Knill et al. (2008); Lächler et al. (2015)
