SERAC1 : serine active site containing 1
Description
The SERAC1 (serine active site containing 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.
The SERAC1 gene provides instructions for producing a protein whose function is not fully understood. Research suggests its role in modifying phospholipids, specifically phosphatidylglycerol. Cardiolipin, another phospholipid crucial for mitochondrial membrane function and energy production, is derived from phosphatidylglycerol. SERAC1 may also be involved in cholesterol movement within cells, a substance vital for cell membranes, hormone production, and digestive acids. Its functions are essential both before and after birth.
SERAC1 is also known as -.
