Anti-PTDSS1

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the formation of phosphatidylserine from either phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine. Phosphatidylserine localizes to the mitochondria-associated membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, where it serves a structural role as well as a signaling role. Defects in this gene are a cause of Lenz-Majewski hyperostotic dwarfism. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Protein 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, PubMed:24241535). Catalyzes mainly the conversion of phosphatidylcholine (PubMed:19014349, PubMed:24241535). Also converts, in vitro and to a lesser extent, phosphatidylethanolamine (PubMed:19014349, PubMed:24241535).
