Gene: PYCR3

Alternate names for this Gene: PYCRL

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase family of enzymes. Members of this family catalyze the final step in proline biosynthesis, converting pyrroline-5-carboxylate to proline. Glutamate and ornithine are precursors in the synthesis of proline. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of proline from ornithine.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q24.3

Description of this Gene: pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
