1 Overexpression of mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase, the enzyme converting l-serine to glycine, assures an adequate supply of glycine to rapidly proliferating cancer cells. Serine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
2 Overexpression of mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase, the enzyme converting l-serine to glycine, assures an adequate supply of glycine to rapidly proliferating cancer cells. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
3 Overexpression of mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase, the enzyme converting l-serine to glycine, assures an adequate supply of glycine to rapidly proliferating cancer cells. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
4 Our hypothesis is that mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase is fundamental to sustain cancer metabolism since production of glycine fuels heme biosynthesis and therefore oxidative phosphorylation. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
5 Our hypothesis is that mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase is fundamental to sustain cancer metabolism since production of glycine fuels heme biosynthesis and therefore oxidative phosphorylation. Heme serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
6 Respiration of cancer cells may then ultimately rely on endogenous glycine synthesis by mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
7 If the observed increase of glycine consumption in rapidly proliferating cancer cells has its basis in the need for heme biosynthesis, then mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase should be considered as a key target for the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. Glycine serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
