Crystal Structure of Human D-Amino Acid Oxidase in Complex with Imino-Serine

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 17303072

Function

[OXDA_HUMAN] Regulates the level of the neuromodulator D-serine in the brain. Has high activity towards D-DOPA and contributes to dopamine synthesis. Could act as a detoxifying agent which removes D-amino acids accumulated during aging. Acts on a variety of D-amino acids with a preference for those having small hydrophobic side chains followed by those bearing polar, aromatic, and basic groups. Does not act on acidic amino acids.[1]

About this Structure

2e49 is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
