Serine

Welcome to Dr. Osborne's Zone.

Tonight, we're diving into serine.

Serine is a very important amino acid.

You can see it's a non-essential amino acid, meaning that our body can produce it, and it's got multiple roles.

It was discovered and isolated in 1865. by Emil Kramer from silk protein the Latin term Syracum basically defining or establishing that name serine now the body can make serine under certain conditions however deficiencies can occur and we've learned a lot of this through genetic errors we'll talk about in a little minute but When people have generalized malnutrition, they're not eating enough total protein calories, when they're under intense stress, this amino acid becomes what's known as conditionally essential under certain conditions.

I mentioned this earlier.

But I just want to kind of summarize what they're talking about here.

Serine is an indispensable neurotrophic factor and a precursor for neurotransmitters.
