Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of serine and glycine with the modified folate sulfopterin serving as the one-carbon carrier. Cannot use tetrahydrofolate (THF or H4PteGlu) as the pteridine substrate. Also exhibits a pteridine-independent aldolase activity toward beta-hydroxyamino acids, producing glycine and aldehydes, via a retro-aldol mechanism. Thus, is able to catalyze the cleavage of both allo-threonine and beta-phenylserine.

Belongs to the SHMT family.
