Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-proline biosynthetic process and cellular response to oxidative stress. Predicted to act upstream of or within amino acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 10. Orthologous to human PYCR2 (pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 2).
