Serine is a crucial non-essential amino acid involved in various metabolic processes. It plays essential roles in protein synthesis, phospholipid metabolism, one-carbon metabolism, and neurotransmitter synthesis. Serine is a precursor for phosphatidylserine and sphingolipids, vital for maintaining cell membrane structure and function. It is also involved in the biosynthesis of methionine and cysteine and is critical in DNA synthesis and repair through the one-carbon metabolism pathway. In the nervous system, serine acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, influencing memory and cognitive functions. Additionally, serine plays a significant role in gluconeogenesis and creatine metabolism. Given its central role in these processes, precise analysis of serine and its metabolic pathways is essential for understanding its physiological functions and supports clinical research, disease diagnosis, and nutritional assessment.
