Gene: PYCR1
Alternate names for this Gene: ARCL2B|ARCL3B|P5C|P5CR|PIG45|PP222|PRO3|PYCR
Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the NAD(P)H-dependent conversion of pyrroline-5-carboxylate to proline. This enzyme may also play a physiologic role in the generation of NADP(+) in some cell types. The protein forms a homopolymer and localizes to the mitochondrion. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q25.3
Description of this Gene: pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
