Structure
Similarly to proteinogenic isoleucine and threonine, 3-hydroxyaspartic acid contains two chiral centers. As such, it can exist in 4 stereoisomers, which form two pairs of enantiomers.
Function
The Hya amino acid residue is sometimes contained in EGF-like domains such as Vitamin K-dependent coagulation plasma proteins including protein C.[1]
D-threo-3-Hydroxyaspartate is a part of the siderophore ornibactin.[2]
