A non-essential amino acid involved in metabolism and brain function.
Serine is a non-essential amino acid your body can make. It is a building block for proteins and feeds into the production of glycine, cysteine, phospholipids and the methyl groups used in many reactions. It also supports nerve and brain function.
Plasma serine is part of a full amino acid profile and reflects protein intake and one-carbon metabolism. Unusual levels can point toward rare inherited disorders of serine synthesis, so it is read in the context of the whole profile.
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:
| Analyte | Typical adult range (µmol/L) |
|---|---|
| Serine | 60 to 149 |
Ranges vary by laboratory and assay and are read as part of the full amino acid profile.
Results are affected by recent diet, recent protein intake, fasting state and the time of day the sample is taken.
