Product Information

• Name: cis-4-Hydroxy-L-proline
• Synonyms: (2S,4S)-(-)-4-Hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cis-4-Hydroxy-L-proline is a bound form of proline that is formed by the condensation of two molecules of glyoxylate. It is a basic structure and an intermediate in the synthesis of collagen, which is a protein found in connective tissue. Cis-4-Hydoxy-L-proline has been shown to be an active form of proline for the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis, as it can decrease bile acid levels. This compound has also been used as an analytical method for determining collagen content in biological samples. The polymerase chain reaction technique uses cis-4-Hydroxy-L-proline as a matrix effect to amplify DNA sequences. Cis-4-Hydroxy-L-proline has also been shown to have optimum concentrations at 3mM and 0.5mM in model systems.br>
