Summary

Name SHMT2
Full Name Serine hydroxymethyltransferase, mitochondrial
Synonyms SHMT, Glycine hydroxymethyltransferase, Serine methylase |
Primary ID P34897

Type protein
Relations 4
Pathways One-carbon Metabolism
Function Catalyzes the cleavage of serine to glycine accompanied with the production of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate, an essential intermediate for purine biosynthesis (PubMed:24075985, PubMed:29364879, PubMed:25619277). Serine provides the major source of folate one-carbon in cells by catalyzing the transfer of one carbon from serine to tetrahydrofolate (PubMed:25619277). Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway via its role in glycine and tetrahydrofolate metabolism
