Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase

Function

Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PGDH) catalyzes the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate into 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate. This is the first step of serine biosynthesis^[1]. NAD is used as cofactor.

Relevance

In some cancer cells there is an elevation in PGDH level and hence an increase in serine biosynthesis^[2].

Structural highlights

The active site of Mycobacterium tuberculosis PGDH located in the cleft between the substrate and the NAD-binding domains contains the ^[3].
