Related to serine: Amino acids, threonine

serine

[sēr´ēn]

a naturally occurring, nonessential amino acid, used as a dietary supplement, in biological studies and tests, and in culture media.

ser·ine (S, Ser),

(ser'ēn),

2-Amino-3-hydroxypropanoic acid; the l-isomer is one of the amino acids occurring in proteins.

serine

/ser·ine/ (Ser) (S) (sēr´ēn) a naturally occurring nonessential amino acid present in many proteins.

serine

(sĕr′ēn′)

An amino acid, C₃H₇NO₃, that is a common constituent of many proteins.

serine (Ser)

[ser′ēn]

a nonessential amino acid found in many proteins in the body (e.g., casein, vitellin). It is synthesized from glycine or threonin and a precursor of the amino acids purine, cysteine, and others. It can be found in urine. See also amino acid, protein.

Chemical structure of serine

SERPING1

A gene on chromosome 11q12-q13.1 that encodes a highly glycosylated plasma protein which regulates the complement cascade by inhibiting activated C1r and C1s, thereby preventing complement activation.

Molecular pathology
C1-INH/SERPING1 deficiency is associated with hereditary angioneurotic oedema (HANE).

ser·ine

(S) (sĕr'ēn)

One of the amino acids occurring in proteins.

serine

A non-essential amino acid found as a component of most proteins. It is a precursor of choline, glucine, cysteine and pyruvate. Serine is present in most diets but most of the body serine is synthesized.

serine (S, Ser)

one of 20 AMINO ACIDS common in proteins. It has a polar ‘R’ group structure and is soluble in water. See Fig. 282 . The ISOELECTRIC POINT of serine is 5.7.

ser·ine

(sĕr'ēn)

One of the amino acids occurring in proteins.

serine

Ser; a naturally occurring amino acid.
