BCAT
What it does, reaction by reaction
This enzyme appears only in the regulation table, with no catalysed step recorded.
What accelerates and inhibits it
Regulation is pathway-specific, so each context is listed separately
Transamination
Branched-chain amino acid availability
Product accumulation (branched-chain keto acids/glutamate)
Insulin favors BCAA uptake and protein synthesis in muscle; catabolic states favor net BCAA oxidation
