EC 5.1.1.18 Details
EC number
5.1.1.18
Accepted name
serine racemase
Reaction
L-serine = D-serine
Other name(s)
SRR
Systematic name
serine racemase
CAS registry number
77114-08-0
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein that is highly selective for L-serine as substrate. D-Serine is found in type-II astrocytes in mammalian brain, where it appears to be an endogenous ligand of the glycine site of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors [1,2]. The reaction can also occur in the reverse direction but does so more slowly at physiological serine concentrations [4].
