Functions
Serine helps build the phospholipids required to produce cells in the body. It is also involved in muscle formation, RNA and DNA function, fat and fatty acid metabolism and the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Serine is synthesized from glycine and helps produce cysteine in the body from homocysteine. Serine is an integral component of brain proteins and nerve sheaths, important in the production of cell membranes and in muscle tissue synthesis. It helps make the immunoglobulins and antibodies that support a strong immune system. Serine is also a constituent of phospholipids that help seal in moisture. It is included as a natural moisturizing agent in numerous skin care products. |
