Recombinant Human Serine racemase (SRR)

Uniprot Id

Q9GZT4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SRR

Target Full Name

Serine racemase

Target Function

Catalyzes the synthesis of D-serine from L-serine. D-serine is a key coagonist with glutamate at NMDA receptors. Has dehydratase activity towards both L-serine and D-serine.

Target Protein Families

Serine/threonine dehydratase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Brain: expressed at high levels in hippocampus and corpus callosum, intermediate levels in substantia nigra and caudate, and low levels in amygdala, thalamus, and subthalamic nuclei. Expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and liver.

Target Research Area

Neuroscience

Target Synonyms

D serine ammonia lyase; D serine dehydratase; D-serine ammonia-lyase; D-serine dehydratase; ILV1; ISO1; L serine ammonia lyase; L serine dehydratase; L-serine ammonia-lyase; L-serine dehydratase; Serine racemase; srr; SRR_HUMAN

Target Background

Enables several functions, including L-serine ammonia-lyase activity; PDZ domain binding activity; and anion binding activity. Involved in pyruvate biosynthetic process; response to lipopolysaccharide; and serine family amino acid metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and neuronal cell body.
