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
