NCIt definition : Human BCAT1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p12.1 and is approximately
139 kb in length. This allele, which encodes branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase,
cytosolic protein, plays a role in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids. Mutation
of the gene is associated with hypervalinemia and hyperleucine-isoleucinemia.;
