Type: | Family | Name: | Proline dehydrogenase |
Description: | Proline can be oxidized to glutamate via a two-step process. Proline dehydrogenase (proline oxidase) performs the first step. The second step is performed by delta-1-pyrroline 5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (), which is often linked to proline dehydrogenase () in bifunctional bacterial enzymes such as PutA. The enzymes in this group are predicted to have proline dehydrogenase (PDH) function only, and in this respect are similar to yeast Put1p and other mitochondrial PDHs. | Short Name: | PRODH |
