Homoserine (also called isothreonine) is an -amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2CH2OH. L-Homoserine is not one of the common amino acids encoded by DNA. It differs from the proteinogenic amino acid serine by insertion of an additional -CH2- unit into the backbone. Homoserine or its lactone form is the product of a cyanogen bromide cleavage of a peptide by degradation of methionine.
