Δ1-Pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid
Δ1-Pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid (Pyr2C) is a cyclic imino acid involved in proline metabolism. Within cells, Δ1-Pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid can be directly reduced to proline, supporting the growth of proline-auxotrophic strains of Escherichia coli. Δ1-Pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can be used to synthesize L-pipecolic acid (HY-W012734).
