Hydroxyproline Assay Kits

Hydroxyproline assay kits are available from several suppliers to quantify the amount of hydroxyproline in a given biological sample. Hydroxyproline is formed from the hydroxylation of proline and is a major component of collagen and collagen-like protein components. It can be measured to determine levels of collagen or investigate physiological conditions based on collagen turnover. Hydroxyproline assays generally involve reactions with oxidized hydroxyproline to produce a change in color, spectroscopically measured at an absorbance peak at 560 nm.
