Reaction: L-1-phosphatidylethanolamine + L-serine = L-1-phosphatidylserine + ethanolamine
Other name(s): phosphatidylserine synthase 2; serine-exchange enzyme II; PTDSS2 (gene name)
Systematic name: L-1-phosphatidylethanolamine:L-serine phosphatidyltransferase
Comments: This mammalian enzyme catalyses an exchange reaction in which the polar head group of phosphatidylethanolamine is replaced by L-serine.
