Depletion of branched‐chain aminotransferase 2 (BCAT2) enzyme impairs myoblast survival and myotube formation

Abstract Much is known about the positive effects of branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) in regulating muscle protein metabolism. Comparatively much less is known about the effects of these amino acids and their metabolites in regulating myotube formation. Using cultured myoblasts, we showed that alth...
