Summary Phosphatidylserine (PS) accounts for 5 to 10% of cell membrane phospholipids. In addition to its role as a structural component, PS is involved in cell signaling, blood coagulation, and apoptosis. PS is synthesized by a calcium-dependent base-exchange reaction catalyzed by PS synthases (EC 2.7.8.8), like PTDSS1, that exchange L-serine for the polar head group of phosphatidylcholine (PC) or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (Sturbois-Balcerzak et al., 2001 [PubMed 11084049]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2009]
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. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
