Synthesized peptide derived from human AL4A1 AA range: 39-89
Alternative Synonym:
Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial (P5C dehydrogenase) (EC 1.5.1.12) (Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 4 member A1)
This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. This enzyme is a mitochondrial matrix NAD-dependent dehydrogenase which catalyzes the second step of the proline degradation pathway, converting pyrroline-5-carboxylate to glutamate. Deficiency of this enzyme is associated with type II hyperprolinemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accumulation of delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) and proline. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009],
