Reaction: PYCRL decamer reduces (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate to L-Pro
- in pathway: Glutamate and glutamine metabolism
Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase-like (PYCRL) catalyzes the reaction of (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate with NADPH + H+ to form proline and NADP+ in the cytosol (De Ingeniis et al. 2012). While the pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase described by Merrill et al. (1989) is taken to be the PYCR1 or PYCR2 gene product, its abundance in red blood cell cytosol and its strong preference for NADP as a cofactor suggest the alternative interpretation that it is the product of PYCRL.
