Description

Catalyzes the decarboxylaton of phospatidyl-L-serine to phosphatidylethanolamine. The related family TIGR00164 includes archaetidylserine decarboxylases from various archaea. Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase is synthesized as a single chain precursor. Generation of the pyruvoyl active site from a Ser is coupled to cleavage of a Gly-Ser bond between the larger (beta) and smaller (alpha chains). It is an integral membrane protein.
