In enzymology, a valine-3-methyl-2-oxovalerate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.32) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-valine + (S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + L-isoleucine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-valine and (S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate, whereas its two products are 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate and L-isoleucine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-valine:(S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include valine-isoleucine transaminase, valine-3-methyl-2-oxovalerate aminotransferase, alanine-valine transaminase, valine-2-keto-methylvalerate aminotransferase, and valine-isoleucine aminotransferase.

Amino acid synthesis is the set of biochemical processes by which the amino acids are produced. The substrates for these processes are various compounds in the organism's diet or growth media. Not all organisms are able to synthesize all amino acids. For example, humans can synthesize 11 of the 20 standard amino acids. These 11 are called the non-essential amino acids).

Branched chain amino acid transaminase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCAT1 gene. It is the first enzyme in the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) degradation pathway and facilitates the reversible transamination of BCAAs and glutamate. BCAT1 resides in the cytoplasm, while its isoform, BCAT2, is found in the mitochondria.
