| Description | Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of phospholipid by the mitochondria. The substrate phosphatidylserine is synthesized extramitochondrially and must be translocated to the mitochondria prior to decarboxylation [ ]. Phosphatidylserine decarboxylases is responsible for conversion of phosphatidylserine to phosphatidylethanolamine and plays a central role in the biosynthesis of aminophospholipids [ ].This family also includes L-tryptophan decarboxylase from the mushroom Psilocybe cubensis, which is required for the biosynthesis of the psychotropic agent psilocybin. This enzyme catalyses the first step in the biosynthetic pathway, converting L-tryptophan to tryptamine [ ]. |
