Pyrroline-5-carboxylate sodium (Cat No.: I040022) is the sodium salt form of pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C), an intermediate in the biosynthesis and degradation of proline and ornithine. It plays a key role in amino acid metabolism and the cellular redox balance. P5C is involved in the proline cycle, which connects mitochondrial function to cellular stress responses. As a research reagent, its sodium salt is used to study metabolic pathways, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, particularly in the context of cancer, aging, and metabolic disorders.
