Function

PRAC_ACESD Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of L- and D-proline (PubMed:5722267, PubMed:24314397). Likely functions as the proline racemase necessary for D-proline generation in order to discriminate it from the L-proline used for protein synthesis (PubMed:20937090).^{[1] [2] [3]}
