Description

Phosphoserine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.52, UniProt Q9Y617, also known as Phosphohydroxythreonine aminotransferase, PSAT) is encoded by the PSAT1 (also known as NLS2, PSA, PSATD) gene (Gene ID 29968) in human. PSAT1 is a class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family member that catalyzes the reversible conversion of 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate and to 1-phosphoserine, as well as the conversion of 3-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-phosphonooxybutanoate to 4-phosphonooxy-L-threonine, using, in both cases, L-glutamate as an amine donor, which is converted to 2-oxoglutarate. PSAT1 is involved in serine biosynthesis from glycolytic intermediates and PSAT1 upregulation is reported in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colon cancer cells, while PSAT1 knockdoown is shown to suppress the proliferation of MDA-MB-468 and BT-20 breast cancer cells.
