overexpression of HA-tagged enzyme in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and in HEK293 cells, coexpression with palmitic acid leads to acylation of the enzyme | Rattus norvegicus |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |

additional information | no inhibition by Triton X-100. Association of serine racemase to brain membranes inhibits D-serine synthesis. Feedback inactivation of D-serine synthesis by NMDA receptor-elicited translocation of serine racemase to the membrane, and this effect is averted by blockade of NMDA receptors | Rattus norvegicus |

phospholipoprotein | the enzyme is acylated in transfected neuroblastoma cells through the formation of an oxyester bond with serine or threonine residues using palmitate or octanoic acid as precursors. Phosphorylation of Thr227 is also required for steady-state binding of the enzyme to the membrane under basal, nonstimulated condition. No S-palmitoylation of the enzyme in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, but O-palmitoylation | Rattus norvegicus |
