| Function | 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. |
| Subcellular Location | Mitochondrion. |
| Top Pathways | Valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, Biosynthesis of amino acids, 2-Oxocarboxylic acid metabolism, Valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation, Pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis |
