Overview of Serine
Serine (L-Serine) is an amino acid that isn't essential, and it is used in nutritional supplements as a pharmaceutical intermediate and research biochemical. The role it plays in the synthesis of proteins, as well as neurotransmitter manufacturing and the metabolism of cells, L-Serine has been employed in formulations for nutritional supplements, as well as in neurological health supplements, and as a structural element in the process of pharmaceutical synthesis.
This amino acid appears as a white crystalline powder with good water solubility and characteristic amino acid properties. Its properties—involvement in one-carbon metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, phospholipid production, and protein structure—make it valuable in nutritional, pharmaceutical, and research applications.
Related products include L-Glycine, L-Cysteine, L-Threonine, and other amino acids used in nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical synthesis.
