| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Serine is involved in the one-carbon unit metabolism. It is associated with the biosynthesis of cysteine, ceramide, phosphatidylserine, purine and pyrimidine. In bacteria, it participates in tryptophan synthesis. Gluconeogenesis, one of the important biochemical processes, involves serine, particularly in ruminants. Protein phosphorylation is one such event that utilizes serine. Glycine, a metabolic product of serine, serves as an antioxidant and a neurotransmitter. D-serine is known to activate the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors of the brain. Serine hydroxamate, a structural analogue of serine prevents seryl-tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) charging and thereby decreases phospholipid and nucleic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli. |
