Among the three enzymes involved in the transsulfuration pathway, only cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) converts L-cysteine into L-serine and H2 S. L-serine is also involved in the de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis through a condensation with palmitoyl-CoA by the action of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). Here, we have investigated if L-serine contributes to the vasorelaxant effect.

Abstract
Among the three enzymes involved in the transsulfuration pathway, only cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) converts L-cysteine into L-serine and H2 S. L-serine is also involved in the de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis through a condensation with palmitoyl-CoA by the action of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). Here, we have investigated if L-serine contributes to the vasorelaxant effect.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
