Abstract
The viewpoint that there is no endogenous D-serine in mammalian nervous system has changed based on recent published reports. The studies indicated that the distribution of this kind of endogenous D-serine parallels with that of NMDA receptor in nervous system. Further study suggested that the D-serine produced in astrocytes regulates the function of NMDA receptor through the glycine-binding site of the receptor. This paper reviews the distribution, synthesis and physiological function of D-serine in nervous system.
