Common NameL-glutamate 5-semialdehyde
DescriptionGlutamic gamma-semialdehyde is the metabolic precursor for proline biosynthesis. The conversion from L-Glutamate, an ATP- and NADPH-dependent reaction, is catalyzed by the enzyme Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) (OMIM 138250 ). L-Glutamic-gamma-semialdehyde can also be converted to or be formed from the amino acids L-ornithine (EC 2.6.1.13) and L-proline (EC 1.5.99.8 and EC 1.5.1.2). It is also one of the few metabolites that can be a precursor to other metabolites of both the urea cycle and the citric acid cycle (BioCyc).
