Emerging Roles of De Novo Proline Biosynthesis in Human Diseases
De novo proline synthesis, a multi‐step biochemical pathway starting from glutamate, supplies essential protein building blocks. It supports redox balance, cell proliferation, signal transduction, and nucleotide and protein biosynthesis. This tightly regulated pathway, governed by conserved mechanisms, is disrupted in diseases such as cancer and ...
