Serine (English: serine) is a non-essential amino acids, rich in eggs, fish, soy, glycine in the body can also be synthesized from serine.
Serine in medicine has a wide range of uses. Serine and fatty acids can promote fat metabolism, helps maintain the immune system.
Serine (Ser, serine): helps muscle and liver glycogen storage, help produce antibodies, other than synthetic sheath of nerve fibers. Of fat and fatty acid metabolism, muscle growth and immune systems are needed, it also assisted immunoglobulin and manufacture antibodies.
Its side chain is a hydrogen recipient and provider, typically located surface and function of the protein in the aqueous solvent. The oxygen atom has a slight nucleophilic, can be a strong reaction electrophilic substances (such as acetic anhycrie However, it is usually a large number of nucleophilic position in some important protease (the serine protease) and esterase (esterases) site of action. And carbohydrates in the body and to be (O-linked glycosylation) and phosphate form stable covalent bonds. Serine and threonine phosphorylation reversible amine acid reaction in many cellular and biochemical reactions play a control signal, in an alkaline environment, saccharification or esterified serine residues of β-elimination-sensitive, can produce dehydrated propylamine acid derivatives, for further reaction.
