alh-6 is orthologous to the human gene ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE 4 FAMILY, MEMBER A1 (ALDH4A1; OMIM:606811), which when mutated leads to hyperprolinemia type II.
Predicted to enable 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in proline catabolic process to glutamate. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Expressed in head and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperprolinemia type 2. Is an ortholog of human ALDH4A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 family member A1).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
