Reaction: (1) L-pipecolate + NADP+ = 1-piperideine-2-carboxylate + NADPH + H+
(2) L-proline + NADP+ = 1-pyrroline-2-carboxylate + NADPH + H+
Glossary: 1-piperideine-2-carboxylate = 3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylate
Other name(s): Pyr2C reductase; 1,2-didehydropipecolate reductase; P2C reductase; 1,2-didehydropipecolic reductase; DELTA1-piperideine-2-carboxylate/1-pyrroline-2-carboxylate reductase (ambiguous); L-pipecolate:NADP+ 2-oxidoreductase; DELTA1-piperideine-2-carboxylate reductase; Δ1-piperideine-2-carboxylate reductase
Systematic name: L-pipecolate/L-proline:NADP+ 2-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the catabolism of D-lysine and D-proline in bacteria that belong to the Pseudomonas genus. In contrast to EC 1.5.1.1, 1-piperideine-2-carboxylate/1-pyrroline-2-carboxylate reductase [NAD(P)H], which shows similar activity with NADPH and NADH, this enzyme is specific for NADPH.
