Valine V
Linked via "branched-chain aminotransferase"
Metabolism and Catabolism
Valine catabolism proceeds via a transamination step catalyzed by branched-chain aminotransferase ($\text{BCAT}$), yielding $\alpha$-ketoisovalerate. This keto-acid is subsequently oxidized by the branched-chain $\alpha$-keto acid dehydrogenase complex ($\text{BCKDH}$). Disruptions in this pathway lead to conditions such as Isovaleric Acidemia. Interestingly, in organism…
