Serine can be degraded to pyruvate via three different pathways: via direct dehydratation of serine to pyruvate, catalyzed by via serinolysis with glycerate 2-P and phosphoenolpyruvate as via cystathionine and cysteine as intermediates (catalyzing enzymes: cystathionine β-synthetase, gamma cystathionase, cysteine desulfhydrase).
