trans-4-hydroxyproline

  • Name: trans-4-hydroxyproline
  • Description: An optically active form of 4-hydroxyproline having L-trans-configuration. A nonessential amino acid derivative formed during post-translational protein modification through hydroxylation of the am... ino acid proline by the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase which requires vitamin C as a co-factor. Hydroxyproline is a neutral heterocyclic amino acid. It is the major component of the protein collagen (and as such it is common in many gelatin products) and plays a key role in the stability of the collagen triple helix. Hydroxyproline is mostly used as a diagnostic marker of bone turnover and liver fibrosis. It can be used as an indicator to determine the amount of collagen. Increased hydroxyproline levels in the urine and/or serum are normally associated with degradation of connective tissue. Vitamin C deficiency decreases the conversion of proline to hydroxyproline, which leads to reduced collagen stability. Therapeutically, hydroxyproline is being studied as an experimental medicine but is approved in France as a combination topical gel product called Cicactive for small, superficial wounds.
