Multi-omics Analysis of the Role of PHGDH in Colon Cancer
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2023 Objectives : Serine metabolism is essential for tumor cells. Endogenous serine arises from de novo synthesis pathways. As the rate-limiting enzyme of this pathway, PHGDH is highly expressed in a variety of tumors including colon cancer.

PHGDH activation fuels glioblastoma progression and radioresistance via serine synthesis pathway
Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer ResearchBackground Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) are key drivers of treatment resistance and recurrence in glioblastoma (GBM). Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), a crucial enzyme in the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP), is implicated in tumorigenesis ...
