1 The methylenetetra- hydrofolate (CH2-THF) produced during this reaction did not equilibrate with the overall CH2-THF pool, but was almost totally recycled by the mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) for the synthesis of one serine from a second molecule of glycine. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
2 However, the largest part (about two-thirds) involved serine-to-glycine conversion by cytosolic SHMT, then glycine oxidation by GDC. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
3 The glycine formed during this process is rapidly oxidized by the mitochondrial GDC-SHMT enzymatic system, which is therefore required in all plant tissues. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
