1 We show here that the levels of kindlin-2 and its binding partner PYCR1, a key enzyme for proline synthesis, are significantly increased in the lung tissues of human patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Proline pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Treatment of human lung fibroblasts with TGF-beta1 markedly increased the expression of kindlin-2 and PYCR1, resulting in increased kindlin-2 mitochondrial translocation, formation of the kindlin-2-PYCR1 complex and proline synthesis. Proline pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1 Homo sapiens
