Protein
Serine decarboxylase 2
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
Catalyzes the biosynthesis of ethanolamine from serine. Decarboxylation of free serine is the major source of ethanolamine production in plants and ethanolamine metabolism is crucial for the synthesis of choline, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), and thus for plant growth (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.
