Description | This entry represents Lactate racemase from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LarA) and similar prokaryotic proteins. LarA is a nickel-dependent lactate racemase that catalyses the interconversion between the D- and L-isomers of lactate [, ]. It may act as a rescue enzyme to ensure D-lactate production in physiological conditions where its production by the D-lactate dehydrogenase LdhD is not sufficient. D-Lactate essential for growth of L.plantarum []. | Name | Nickel-dependent lactate racemase LarA |
