Aldh4a1 - aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 family, member A1

Enables 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in proline catabolic process to glutamate. Predicted to act upstream of or within proline metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; integumental system; metanephros; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperprolinemia type 2. Orthologous to human ALDH4A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 family member A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
