in cycling endometrial tissue, is relatively high in the proliferative phase in glandular cells and lower in the secretory phase
constitutional   deletion    
L-serine deficiency caused by its deletion leads to robust induction of EIF4EBP1 and subsequent repression of translation initiation in the developing central nervous system
