Application

L-Serine has been used in the preparation of Tris-BSAN buffer for homogenization. It has also been used for quantitative analysis of excretion of polypeptides in normal urine.[1][2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Serine is a non-essential amino acid that acts as a precursor for nucleotide synthesis. It has roles in the development and function of the central nervous system.[3] L-Serine also has a role in cellular proliferation.[4]
Precursor of glycine by serine hydroxymethyltransferase.
