| Research Abstract |
D-serine in the brain is known to be synthesized from serine racemase (SRR). In this study, we found that levels of D-aspartic acid I the forebrain of SRR knock-out (KO) mice was significantly lower than those of wild type mice. Furthermore, the enzymatic activity of D-aspartate oxidase (DDO) in the forebrain of SRR-KO mice was not changed. It is unlikely that DDO activity plays a role in the findings of this study.
