GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PYCR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
P5CR2
Description
Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase family, member 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene belongs to the pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase family. The encoded mitochondrial protein catalyzes the conversion of pyrroline-5-carboxylate to proline, which is the last step in proline biosynthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
