D-serine
Active
Description
D-serine (D-ser) is a major endogenous NMDA receptor co-agonist that specifically activates pre-synaptic NMDA receptors. D-ser is produced from L-serine by the enzyme serine racemase. Altered D-ser concentration may be associated with a number of central nervous disorders, including schizophrenia, aging, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, cerebellar ataxia, Parkinson's disease, neuropathic pain and depression. Increasing the level of CNS D-ser by direct supplementation, or increasing production or decreasing breakdown of D-ser is being studied as a treatment option for conditions such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
