BCKDH complex
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
Amino Acid Catabolism Overview (glucogenic vs. ketogenic amino acids; brief overview of branched-chain amino acid catabolism and phenylalanine/tyrosine catabolism as representative examples)
Dephosphorylation by BCKDH phosphatase; elevated branched-chain keto acids
Phosphorylation by BCKDH kinase; product/high-energy signals
Insulin promotes BCAA uptake and protein synthesis; fasting, exercise, and cortisol favor BCAA oxidation indirectly
