aldehyde dehydrogenase 18 family member A1

The ALDH18A1 gene provides instructions for making a protein known as P5CS. This protein is found in cell structures called mitochondria, which are the energy-producing centers of cells. P5CS appears to be important for mitochondrial function, and it plays a role in the formation (synthesis) of the protein building block (amino acid) proline.

Normal function

The ALDH18A1 gene provides instructions for making a protein known as P5CS. This protein is found in cell structures called mitochondria, which are the energy-producing centers of cells. P5CS appears to be important for mitochondrial function, and it plays a role in the formation (synthesis) of the protein building block (amino acid) proline.

The formation of proline is a multi-step process that converts the amino acid glutamate to the amino acid proline. The P5CS protein carries out the first step in this process by converting the amino acid glutamate to glutamate 5-semialdehyde. Subsequent steps convert this intermediate product to the amino acid proline. The conversion of glutamate to proline is important in maintaining a supply of the amino acids needed for protein production and for energy transfer within the cell.
