BCK typically refers to Branched-Chain Ketones, metabolic intermediates derived from Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). These compounds are synthesized via oxidative decarboxylation in mitochondrial pathways. Common variants include alpha-ketoisocaproate (CAS 5786-90-1) and alpha-keto-beta-methylvalerate (CAS 5786-91-2), featuring the general formula C6H10O3 or C7H12O3.
