The branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the BCAA degradation pathway. Branched-chain α-keto acid decarboxylase (BCKDH-E1) is one of three enzymatic components in this complex. The α subunit of BCKDH-E1 (BCKDH-E1α) is critical for the regulation of BCKDH. Phosphorylation of BCKDH-E1α was shown to play a key role in regulating the enzymatic activity of this complex.\u003cbr\u003e\nPhosphorylation of BCKDH-E1α at Ser293 inactivates BCKDH. A significant elevation in plasma BCAA levels was reported to correlate with increased phosphorylation of BCKDH-E1α at Ser293 and suppressed BCKDH activity in the liver of diabetic mice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePurification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is \u0026gt; 95% (by SDS-PAGE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term.

Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AF594-conjugated secondary antibody (red) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlternative Name: 2-oxoisovalerate dehydrogenase subunit alpha mitochondrial; Branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase E1 component alpha chain; BCKDE1A; BCKDH E1-alpha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmunogen: Recombinant full length protein of human BCKDHA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConjugate: Unconjugated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModification: Unmodified\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BioWorld","offers":[{"title":"50µl","offer_id":42989553746099,"sku":"BS67347-50","price":260.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100µl","offer_id":42989553778867,"sku":"BS67347-100","price":452.94,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/9482\/6376\/products\/thumbnail_d1447bac803ec9be_11-14-09-19-51_67ce325b-9369-4351-a162-17d5e6772e68.jpg?v=1706095250","url":"https:\/\/afsbio.com\/products\/bckdha-polyclonal-antibody-bs67347","provider":"AFSBio Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
