Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a quantitatively minor, but physiologically important, phospholipid in mammalian cells. PS is synthesized by two distinct base-exchange enzymes, PS synthase-1 (PSS1) and PS synthase-2 (PSS2), that are encoded by different genes. PSS1 exchanges serine for choline of phosphatidylcholine, whereas PSS2 exchanges ethanolamine of phosphatidylethanolamine for serine. We previously generated...
