Desmosine chloride
Desmosine chloride (CAS: 10019-68-8), with the empirical formula C24H40ClN5O8 and a molecular weight of 562.06, is a chemical compound supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. Sourced from bovine and purified by chromatography and solvent extraction, it is primarily utilized in biochemical research for assays related to elastin degradation and fibrotic conditions. Its specific applications are in understanding disease states characterized by elastin breakdown or excessive collagen formation.

Marker for Elastin Degradation
Assays for free or urinary desmosine serve as important markers for diseases associated with elastin degradation, such as emphysema. Elevated levels indicate tissue breakdown.
Indicator of Fibrotic Conditions
Conversely, excessive incorporation of desmosine can be an indicator of fibrotic conditions, including cirrhosis. This highlights its role in monitoring conditions of excessive collagen deposition.
Biochemical Research Reagent
Desmosine chloride is a valuable reagent for in vitro research, enabling the study of protein structure and function, particularly concerning connective tissues and their associated pathologies.
