Breakthrough in Understanding Phosphatidylserine Synthase 2 and SREBP Pathway Regulation

Quick Summary:

• the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’ Volume 122,Issue 20 (May 2025) presents findings on mammalian phosphatidylserine synthases (PSS1 and PSS2).
• Despite high genetic similarity, PSS1 and PSS2 exhibit opposing roles in lipid regulation.
• Research reveals that inhibiting or reducing activity of PSS1 leads to decreased phosphatidylserine (PS) levels, affecting cellular lipid regulation mechanisms.
