Interaction Information:

Comment Regional increase of hBCATc (BCAT1) expression was observed only in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in AD (Alzheimer's disease) brains relative to matched controls. All cases chosen had a postmortem (PM) delay of less than 15 h, had no significant comorbidities (such as vascular dementia or Parkinson’s disease) and were age- and gender-matched

Comment In humans and rodents, hBCATc is predominantly found in the soma and proximal dendrites of glutamatergic and GABAergic neuronal cells, in keeping with its role in contributing to the storage and metabolic pools of glutamate, which is in turn decarboxylated in GABAergic neurons to formGABA[
