BCKDK blocking peptide
BCKDK Antibody (C-term T340) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD) is an important regulator of the valine, leucine, and isoleucine catabolic pathways. The protein encoded by this gene is found in the mitochondrion, where it phosphorylates and inactivates BCKD. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
BCKDK: an atypical protein kinase associated with the mitochondrial matrix. Contains a HATPase_c domain, found in several ATP-binding proteins including protein histidine kinases (PHKs), PHDKs, DNA gyrase B, topoisomerases, heat shock proteins, and DNA mismatch repair proteins. Unlike PHKs, BCK dimerizes through direct interaction of two opposing nucleotide-binding domains. Phosphorylates and inactivates the E1-alpha subunit of the branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDK), the key regulatory enzyme of the valine, leucine and isoleucine catabolic pathways. Inactivating mutations have been discovered in BCKDK in families with autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability, a syndrome that may respond to dietary supplementation.

Product Notes
The BCKDK bckdk (Catalog #AAA9226576) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "BCKDK, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
