PSAT1 phosphoserine aminotransferase 1

Gene ID: 29968, updated on 16-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PSA; EPIP; NLS2; PSAT; PSATD

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. The encoded protein is a phosphoserine aminotransferase and decreased expression may be associated with schizophrenia. Mutations in this gene are also associated with phosphoserine aminotransferase deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene have been defined on chromosomes 1, 3, and 8. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
