Best Answer

starts from glutamic acid --> g-(P)glutamate --> gluamate semialdehyde --> pyrrolidine2-carboxylate --> proline

or, from ornthine --> gluamate semialdehyde --> pyrrolidine2-carboxylate --> proline; but this normally goes the other way aroudn to make ornithine

certain genetic diseases of the first (major) pathway do cause the secodn to turn around and be used to make proline, but the loss of ornithin causes Nitrogen imbalances and a lot of problems.
