L-serine-phosphatidylethanolamine phosphatidyltransferase (EC 2.7.8.29, phosphatidylserine synthase 2, serine-exchange enzyme II, PTDSS2 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name L-1-phosphatidylethanolamine:L-serine phosphatidyltransferase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

L-1-phosphatidylethanolamine + L-serine L-1-phosphatidylserine + ethanolamine

This enzyme catalyses replacement of a polar head group of phosphatidylethanolamine with L-serine.
