PYCR1, 1-319aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

PYCR1 is a universal housekeeping 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. It forms a homopolymer and localizes to the mitochondrion. Defects in PYCR1 are the cause of cutis laxa autosomal recessive type 2B (ARCL2B).
