QuickView for PYCR1 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

PYCR1 Homo sapiens

Full name:

pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1

Synonyms:

ARCL2B, ARCL3B, P5C, P5CR, PIG45, PP222, PRO3, PYCR, pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1, mitochondrial, P5C reductase 1, proliferation-inducing protein 45

Genomic Location:

Chr 17: 77483558-77488259

Description:

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.
