physiological function | branched-chain amino acids are metabolized within both the vasculature and neurons in the human brain. Glutamate dehydrogenase isozymes, branched-chain aminotransferase and the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase proteins may operate in conjunction with astrocytic glutamate transporters and glutamine synthetase to regulate the availability of glutamate | Homo sapiens |
