Biological Activity
Sodium pyrroline-5-carboxylate (0.3-3.0 mM; 1 hour) activates the pentose phosphate pathway in normal human fibroblasts, LLC-RK1 cells and human erythrocytes[1].
Sodium pyrroline-5-carboxylate (1 μM-0.5 mM; 1 hour) increases the level of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate in human red blood cells[1].
Sodium pyrroline-5-carboxylate (0.5 mM; up to 4 hours) increases the level of PP-ribose-P in serum-starved quiescent human fibroblasts in a time-dependent manner[1].
