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 (PubMed:19014349). Catalyzes the conversion of phosphatatidylethanolamine and does not act on phosphatidylcholine (PubMed:19014349). Can utilize both phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) plasmalogen and diacyl PE as substrate and the latter is six times better utilized, indicating the importance of an ester linkage at the sn-1 position (By similarity). Although it shows no sn-1 fatty acyl preference, exhibits significant preference towards docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) compared with 18:1 or 20:4 at the sn-2 position (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z1X2}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Highly enriched in the mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z1X2} |

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]).
