The enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 37 kDa and is expressed highly in the brain specifically in regions such as the hippocampus and cortex. It utilizes pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor to catalyze the racemization and in certain conditions it also exhibits dehydratase activity converting serine to pyruvate and ammonia.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSerine racemase plays an important role in the central nervous system. D-serine the product of its action serves as a co-agonist with glutamate at the NMDA receptor which is important for synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Serine racemase also associates with proteins like PICK1 and Golga3 affecting its localization and activity within cells. The regulation of D-serine levels impacts neurotransmission and neuron viability.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSerine racemase is integral to the serine metabolism and NMDA receptor signaling pathways. It interacts with the enzyme glycine decarboxylase which is involved in glycine metabolism demonstrating its role in amino acid regulation. Its activity connects to the glutamatergic neurotransmission pathway influencing calcium influx and downstream signaling cascades that are essential for long-term potentiation and neuroplasticity.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlterations in serine racemase activity or expression have been linked to conditions such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. In schizophrenia disruptions in D-serine levels possibly through interactions with proteins like NMDA receptor and D-amino acid oxidase can lead to impaired NMDA receptor function. In Alzheimer's disease abnormal D-serine metabolism is associated with neurodegeneration often involving proteins like amyloid-beta which exacerbates disease pathology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855718797481,"sku":"ab182217","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab182217","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
