From Beginning to End: Expanding the SERINC3 Interactome Through an Analysis.

The serine incorporator (SERINC) family of proteins are a family of multipass transmembrane proteins associated with biosynthesis of serine-containing phospholipids and sphingolipids. Humans have 5 paralogs, SERINC1-5, which have been linked to disease including variable expression in tumor lines and possessing activity as restriction factors against HIV-1. Despite recent studies, the cellular function of SERINC proteins have yet to be fully elucidated.
