BCAT2 Antibodies

AND BCAT2 ELISA kits, BCAT2 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect BCAT2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with BCAT2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop BCAT2 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to BCAT2 by testing them on tissues known to express BCAT2 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the BCAT2 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 4 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

BCAT2 Overview

Facts about Branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, mitochondrial.

BCAT2 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, mitochondrial (BCAT2)

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.
