In enzymology, a threonine racemase (EC 5.1.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-threonine D-threonine

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-threonine, and one product, D-threonine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on amino acids and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is threonine racemase.
