PLPHP_ECOLI Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-binding protein, which is involved in PLP homeostasis. May have a carrier function to deliver PLP to the target enzymes or a protective function so that PLP does not inactivate essential lysines in proteins (PubMed:26872910). Does not have amino acid racemase activity (PubMed:24097949).[1][2]
