PTDSS2, Official Symbol PTDSS2provided by HGNC Official Full Name phosphatidylserine synthase 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:15463 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000174915 MIM:612793; AllianceGenome:HGNC:15463 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as PSS2 Summary The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylserine, a structural membrane phospholipid that functions in cell signaling, blood coagulation, and apoptosis. The encoded enzyme also has a high affinity for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and can use it to make DHA-containing phosphatidylserine.
