In short

O-Phosphoserine is the amino acid serine carrying a phosphate group. It is a building block for phosphoproteins and an intermediate in serine and phospholipid metabolism. It appears in plasma in very small amounts.

Comprehensive Health Check
Reviewed against DGKL reference practice.
Why it matters

Why test this?

O-Phosphoserine is reported as part of a full amino acid profile. It sits at very low levels in healthy adults and is mainly a supporting data point rather than a routine health marker. It is read in the context of the whole profile.

Reference ranges

What is a normal result?

Aniva reads your result against research-backed ranges, not just the lab's wide normal. The reference shown below is specific to this biomarker.

Adult fasting plasma, guidance only:

AnalyteTypical adult range (µmol/L)
O-Phosphoserine0 to 2

Ranges vary by laboratory and assay and are read as part of the full amino acid profile.

Ranges are guidance and vary by lab and assay, aligned with DGKL practice. Always read your result against your own lab's reference interval.
What you'll learn

What insights will this test give you?

  • Whether O-phosphoserine sits in the usual low adult range.
  • A small additional data point within your amino acid profile.
  • Context for the other compounds reported alongside it.
What affects your level

What can affect this result?

What can skew the result

Results are affected by recent diet, recent protein intake, fasting state and the time of day the sample is taken.
