NameL-Homoserine
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionL-Homoserine is an alpha-amino acid. L-Homoserine is derived from L-aspartate in the homoserine biosynthesis pathway. It is the precursor in homocysteine biosynthesis pathway and in threonine biosynthesis from homoserine pathway. In certain organisms, including the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c and certain bacteria, hydrogen sulfide reacts with O-acetyl-L-homoserine, replacing the acetyl group and forming L-homocysteine.
