P5C as an Interface of Proline Interconvertible Amino Acids and Its Role in Regulation of Cell Survival and Apoptosis

Studies of cancer metabolism have focused on the production of energy and the interconversion of carbons between cell cycles. More recently, amino acid metabolism, especially non-essential amino acids (NEAAs), has been investigated, underlining their regulatory role. One of the important mediators i...

description Studies of cancer metabolism have focused on the production of energy and the interconversion of carbons between cell cycles.

One of the important mediators in energy production and interconversion of carbons in the cell is Δ<sup>1</sup>-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C)—the physiological intracellular intermediate of the interconversion of proline, ornithine, and glutamate.
