In enzymology, a pyrroline-2-carboxylate reductase (EC 1.5.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-proline, NAD+, and NADP+, whereas its 4 products are 1-pyrroline-2-carboxylate, NADH, NADPH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-proline:NAD(P)+ 2-oxidoreductase.
This enzyme participates in lysine degradation and arginine and proline metabolism.
