Description: The degradation of L-threonine to glycine consists of a two-step biochemical pathway involving the enzymes L-threonine dehydrogenase and 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase. L-Threonine is first converted into 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate by L-threonine dehydrogenase. GCAT is the second enzyme in this pathway, which then catalyzes the reaction between 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate and coenzyme A to form glycine and acetyl-CoA. The enzyme is considered a class II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase.
Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 155-181 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the GCAT antibody.
Storage: Aliquot the GCAT antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
