Description
Proline dehydrogenase (ProDH), L-proline:quinone oxidoreductase, is located on the inner side of the mtIM, oxidizing proline to delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate, with reduction of FAD to FADH2 and direct entry into the Q-junction, exerting an additive effect of convergent pathways. ProDH is widely distributed in a variety of organisms, is a source of ROS, and may play a role in carcinogenesis.
