L-Hydroxyprolin

Hydroxyproline is a hydroxylated form of the imino acid proline. A deficiency in ASCORBIC ACID can result in impaired hydroxyproline formation. (In Vitro) :L-Hydroxyproline (Trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline; Trans-Hyp) has been widely used in medicine, biochemistry, food, cosmetic and other aspects of industry. Additionally, L-Hydroxyproline has also been found in the composition of some secondary metabolites such as actinomycins and echinocandins. L-Hydroxyproline is manufactured industrially most by acid hydrolysis of mammalian collagen because of its rich amount in the collagen.
