The encoded mitochondrial protein catalyzes the conversion of pyrroline-5-carboxylate to proline, which is the last step in proline biosynthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]. * **UniProt Summary**: Housekeeping enzyme that catalyzes the last step in proline biosynthesis. In some cell types, such as erythrocytes, its primary function may be the generation of NADP(+). Can utilize both NAD and NADP. Has higher affinity for NADP, but higher catalytic efficiency with NADH (PubMed:2722838, PubMed:6894153). Involved in cellular response to oxidative stress (PubMed:25865492). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25865492, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2722838, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6894153}. |F420 oxidored| |pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase activity| |proline biosynthetic process| |L-proline biosynthetic process| |proline metabolic process| |glutamine family amino acid biosynthetic process| |alpha-amino acid biosynthetic process| |glutamine family amino acid metabolic process| |cellular amino acid biosynthetic process| |alpha-amino acid metabolic process| |cellular response to oxidative stress| |carboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |organic acid biosynthetic process| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |mitochondrial matrix| |response to oxidative stress| |drug metabolic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |oxidation-reduction process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |mitochondrion| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular response to stress| |small molecule metabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
