Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (ALDH4A1)
|
UniProt Number:
|
P30038
|
|
Alternate Names:
|
aldehyde dehydrogenase family 4 member A1, P5C dehydrogenase, ALDH4, P5CDH
|
|
Structure and Function:
|
ALDH4A1 belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. This enzyme, present in the mitochondrial matrix, converts pyrroline-5-carboxylate to glutamate (the second step of the proline degradation pathway) and is an NAD-dependent dehydrogenase.
|
|
Disease Associations:
|
Deficiency of this enzyme is associated with type II hyperprolinemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accumulation of delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) and proline. [MIM: 239510]
