Phosphoserine aminotransferase
From Proteopedia
Function
Phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) catalyzes the reversible conversion of phosphoserine and oxoglutarate to produce glutamate and 3-phosphonooxypyruvate. PSAT is part of the phosphoserine biosynthesis. Pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6, PLP) is a cofactor of PAT.
Relevance
PSAT is over-expressed in colon tumors and its inhibition is being tested as drug treatment.
