Serine active site containing 1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the SERAC1gene.[1]
Clinical relevance
Mutations in this gene have been associated to impairment of both mitochondrial function and intracellular cholesterol trafficking.[2] A mutation in this gene has been found in a patient suffering from 3-methylglutaconic aciduria.[3]
