Identification
Name:Pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid
DescriptionPyrrolidonecarboxylic acid is a member of the chemical class known as Pyrrolidine Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives. These are compounds containing a pyrrolidine ring which bears a carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof. 2-Pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid (PCA) is a cyclic derivative of glutamic acid, and has been found in E. coli beta-galactosidase. It is produced by gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase (glutamate semialdehyde dehydrogenase) via glutamic acid 5-semidaldehyde [PMID: 7034716].
