Name | PTDSS2 |
---|---|
Synonyms | PSS2 |
Function | Catalyzes a base-exchange reaction in which the polar head group of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylcholine (PC) is replaced by L-serine. PTDSS2 is specific for phosphatatidylethanolamine and does not act on phosphatidylcholine. |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Note=Highly enriched in the mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM). |

Background
Phosphatidylserine (PS) accounts for 5 to 10% of cellmembrane phospholipids. In addition to its role as a structuralcomponent, PS is involved in cell signaling, blood coagulation, andapoptosis. PS is synthesized by a calcium-dependent base-exchangereaction catalyzed by PS synthases (EC 2.7.8.8), like PTDSS2, thatexchange L-serine for the polar head group of phosphatidylcholine(PC) or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (Sturbois-Balcerzak et al.,2001 [PubMed 11084049]).
