Also known as 2-amino-6-[3,5-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxy-4-oxobutyl)-2-(4-amino-5-hydroxy-5-oxopentyl)pyridin-1-ium-1-yl]hexanoic acid, Ide, 2-(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)-1-(5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)-3,5-bis(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)pyridinium, Iso-desmosin, 3,5-bis(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)-2-(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)-1-(5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)pyridin-1-ium, 2-(4-Amino-4-carboxybutyl)-1-(5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)-3,5-bis(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)-Pyridinium
Isodesmosine is a lysine derivative found in elastin. Isodesmosine is an isomeric pyridinium-based amino acid resulting from the condensation of four lysine residues between elastin proteins by lysyl-oxidase. These represent ideal biomarkers for monitoring elastin turnover because these special cross-links are only found in mature elastin in mammals.
