LOX / Lysyl Oxidase

lysyl oxidase

Lysyl Oxidase / LOX is an extracellular copper enzyme that initiates the crosslinking of collagens and elastin. The enzyme catalyzes oxidative deamination of the epsilon-amino group in certain lysine and hydroxylysine residues of collagens and lysine residues of elastin. In addition to crosslinking extracellular matrix proteins, the encoded protein may have a role in tumor suppression. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cutis laxa type I (CL type I). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene Name:	lysyl oxidase
Synonyms:	LOX, Lysyl oxidase, Protein-lysine 6-oxidase
Target Sequences:	NM_002317 NP_002308.2 P28300
