• Synonyms: D-Ser(H2PO3)-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: O-Phospho-D-serine (OS) is a phospholipid that is synthesized by the enzyme phosphatase from D-serine. It has been shown to have tumor cell line inhibitory effects and may be useful as a pharmacologic agent for the treatment of cancer. OS has also been shown to have retinal neuron protective effects and can induce the maturation of cells in culture. OS is an essential component of the cell membrane, where it plays an important role in maintaining intracellular chloride levels. This compound also has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of t-cell proliferation. In addition, OS has been implicated in glutamate signaling and neurotransmission as well as fatty acid biosynthesis. OS is produced by bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus, which are found in soil and water samples throughout the world.
