| Description | L-Serine, also known as 3-hydroxyalanine or serin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as serine and derivatives. Serine and derivatives are compounds containing serine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of serine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Thus, L-serine is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. An alpha-amino acid that is alanine substituted at position 3 by a hydroxy group. L-Serine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Within humans, L-serine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, tetrahydrofolic acid and L-serine can be biosynthesized from 5,10-methylene-THF and glycine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase, mitochondrial. In addition, pyruvic acid and L-serine can be converted into hydroxypyruvic acid and L-alanine through the action of the enzyme serine--pyruvate aminotransferase. In humans, L-serine is involved in the metabolic disorder called sarcosinemia. Outside of the human body, L-Serine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as caseins, red bell peppers, and milk (cow) and in a lower concentration in garden onions, celery leaves, and ginkgo nuts. L-Serine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as blue whitings, norway pouts, pomes, pepper (c. Pubescens), and rocket salad (ssp.). serin is found in Abutilon indicum, Agave americana, Allium rotundum, Antirrhinum majus, Arabidopsis thaliana, Bombyx mori, Castanea sativa, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Claviceps purpurea, Colchicum trigynum, Glycine max, Lates calcarifer, Lemna aequinoctialis, Litoria verreauxii, Lunaria annua, Medicago sativa, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Onobrychis kachetica, Panax ginseng, Paris fargesii, Populus tremula, Puccinia graminis, Salmonella enterica, Scolopendra subspinipes, Solanum lycopersicum, Stellaria media and Viscum album. This could make L-serine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. |
