Naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid; M.W. 105.09. It may be synthesized from glucose and is interconvertible with glycine. It is a substrate in the formation of cystathionine. Present in many proteins, it provides a side-chain hydroxyl group, which permits modification of the protein by phosphorylation or glycosylation. 7, record 1, English, - L%2Dserine

Acide aminé glucoformateur non indispensable, possédant une fonction alcool. Son dérivé phosphorylé, la phosphosérine, entre dans la composition des phosphoprotéines. Estérifiée par l'acide phosphatidique, elle donne la phosphatidyl-sérine qui est un important phospholipide. 5, record 1, French, - L%2Ds%C3%A9rine

La sérine existe dans les sites catalytiques de nombreuses enzymes protéolytiques (trypsine, chymotrypsine) et de nombreuses enzymes hydrolytiques (phosphatases alcalines, acétylcholinestérases). Elle est à l'origine de la synthèse des phosphatides complexes. La L-sérine, ou S-sérine, est le composé dont la configuration absolue sert de référence pour tous les aminoacides naturels, qui dérivent de la L-sérine en remplaçant CH2, OH par un autre groupement. 6, record 1, French, - L%2Ds%C3%A9rine
