The Multifaceted Roles of Proline in Cell Behavior

The Multifaceted Roles of Proline in Cell Behavior

Herein, we review the multifaceted roles of proline in cell biology. This peculiar cyclic imino acid is: (i) A main precursor of extracellular collagens (the most abundant human proteins), antimicrobial peptides (involved in innate immunity), salivary proteins (astringency, teeth health) and cornifi...
