Product Information
- L-Proline,3,4-dihydroxy-, (2a,3a,4a)-
- cis-2,3-cis-3,4-Dihydroxy-L-proline
(3S,4R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-L-proline is a specific substrate for cyclic dioxygenases. These enzymes are important in microbial metabolism and the degradation of xenobiotics. It has been shown to be a stereoselective substrate for hydroxylases and biotechnology applications. (3S,4R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-L-proline also has an important role in cell growth and differentiation by regulating protein phosphorylation and intracellular signaling pathways.
The enzyme that catalyzes the reaction is thought to be dependent on cofactors such as iron or zinc ions and may be inhibited by azide compounds.
