Pyridinoline is a crosslink compound isolated from bovine Achilles tendon collagen. It is a 3-hydroxypyridinium derivative with 3 amino and 3 carboxyl groups. The contents of pyridinoline in collagen from various sources were determined. The pyridinoline content of bovine Achilles tendon was 0.16 residue/1000 residues and that of rat Achilles tendon collagen was 0.017 residue/1000 residues. Besides Achilles tendon collagen, pyridinoline was found in collagen from coastal cartilage, rib and femoral bone of rat. It was not found in collagen from the tail tendon and skin of rat. A crosslinked, triple-chained peptide containing pyridinoline was isolated from bovine Achilles tendon collagen after digestion with pronase. The peptide may be involved in an intermolecular crosslink among a carboxyterminal sequence, a sequence near the aminoterminus and a sequence in the helical region.
