An amino acid that is a key building block of collagen.
Proline is a non-essential amino acid your body can make. It is a major building block of collagen, the structural protein in skin, bone and connective tissue, which is why proline is closely linked to tissue strength and repair.
Plasma proline is part of a full amino acid profile and reflects protein intake and collagen metabolism. Markedly high levels can point toward inherited disorders of proline breakdown, so it is read in the context of the whole profile.
Aniva reads your result against research-backed ranges, not just the lab's wide normal. The reference shown below is specific to this biomarker.
Adult fasting plasma, guidance only:
| Analyte | Typical adult range (µmol/L) |
|---|---|
| Proline | 112 to 335 |
Ranges vary by laboratory and assay and are read as part of the full amino acid profile.
Results are affected by recent diet, recent protein intake, fasting state and the time of day the sample is taken.
