| Tissue Specificity | Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Expressed in fetal brain. |
| Function | Oxidoreductase that catalyzes the last step in proline biosynthesis, which corresponds to the reduction of pyrroline-5-carboxylate to L-proline using NAD(P)H. At physiologic concentrations, has higher specific activity in the presence of NADH. Involved in cellular response to oxidative stress. In some cell types, such as erythrocytes, its primary function may be the generation of NADP(+). |
