D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PHGDH gene.[1]

3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH; EC 1.1.1.95) catalyzes the transition of 3-phosphoglycerate into 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate, which is the first and rate-limiting step in the phosphorylated pathway of serine biosynthesis, using NAD+/NADH as a cofactor.[1] Certain breast cancers are dependent on the overexpression of PHGDH.[2]
