• Entrez Summary: This gene encodes the mitochondrial form of a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible reaction of serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate. The encoded product is primarily responsible for glycine synthesis. The activity of the encoded protein has been suggested to be the primary source of intracellular glycine. The gene which encodes the cytosolic form of this enzyme is located on chromosome 17. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009].
• UniProt Summary: Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway via its role in glycine and tetrahydrofolate metabolism. Thymidylate biosynthesis is required to prevent uracil accumulation in mtDNA (PubMed:21876188). Interconversion of serine and glycine (PubMed:25619277). Associates with mitochondrial DNA (PubMed:18063578). Plays a role in the deubiquitination of target proteins as component of the BRISC complex (PubMed:24075985). Required for IFNAR1 deubiquitination by the BRISC complex (PubMed:24075985). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18063578, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21876188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24075985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25619277}.
