Linked from

The 8 pages that link to Serine, each with the reason it gives.

• TyrosineCompared with: Serine can also be phosphorylated, but lacks tyrosine's aromatic ring.

• Protein kinaseRelated: Many protein kinases modify serine residues.

• Protein phosphorylationRelated: Its hydroxyl group is a common target for protein phosphorylation.

• One-carbon metabolismRelated: Its conversion to glycine feeds much of the carbon entering folate metabolism.

• AsparagineCompared with: Its hydroxyl group contrasts with the amide chemistry of asparagine’s side chain.

• ThreonineCompared with: Serine shares threonine's hydroxyl chemistry but has a shorter side chain.

• PhosphatidylserineRelated: Serine supplies the headgroup attached to phosphate in phosphatidylserine.

• SphingosineRelated: It contributes the nitrogen and part of the carbon framework of newly synthesized sphingoid bases.
