Function

Catalyzes the reversible oxidation of 3-phospho-D-glycerate to 3-phosphonooxypyruvate, the first step of the phosphorylated L-serine biosynthesis pathway. Also catalyzes the reversible oxidation of 2-hydroxyglutarate to 2-oxoglutarate and the reversible oxidation of (S)-malate to oxaloacetate.

Involvement in disease

Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency

PHGDHD

An autosomal recessive inborn error of L-serine biosynthesis, clinically characterized by congenital microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, and seizures.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Neu-Laxova syndrome 1

NLS1

A lethal, autosomal recessive multiple malformation syndrome characterized by ichthyosis, marked intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, short neck, limb deformities, hypoplastic lungs, edema, and central nervous system anomalies including lissencephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia and/or abnormal/agenesis of the corpus callosum. Abnormal facial features include severe proptosis with ectropion, hypertelorism, micrognathia, flattened nose, and malformed ears.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Pathway

Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-serine biosynthesis; L-serine from 3-phospho-D-glycerate: step 1/3.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family.
