Functional Family Serine hydroxymethyltransferase

Enzyme Information

2.1.2.1
Glycine hydroxymethyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0A825
5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + glycine + H(2)O = tetrahydrofolate + L-serine.
-!- Also catalyzes the reaction of glycine with acetaldehyde to form L-threonine, and with 4-trimethylammoniobutanal to form 3-hydroxy- N(6),N(6),N(6)-trimethyl-L-lysine.
