NCBI Protein Information
aldehyde dehydrogenase 12A1
NCBI Summary
Encodes mitochondrial Delta-pyrroline-5- carboxylate dehydrogenase. Involved in the catabolism of proline to glutamate. Involved in protection from proline toxicity. Induced at pathogen infection sites. P5CDH and SRO5 (an overlapping gene in the sense orientation) generate 24-nt and 21-nt siRNAs, which together are components of a regulatory loop controlling reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and stress response.
