Lysyl Oxidase (Protein-lysine 6-oxidase; LOX) is a member of the lysyl oxidase family and a product of the LOX gene. Lysyl oxidase is an extracellular-matrix oxidative enzyme characterized by its C-terminal LOX catalytic domain. In the presence of copper, lysyl oxidase removes amine groups from lysine residues of target substrates which include precursors of collagen and elastin. This deamination reaction produces reactive lysine residues which can then interact with similarly activated species to form covalent cross-links. Lysyl oxidase is found predominantly in the kidney, pancreas, heart, skeletal muscle, and placenta. Defective lysyl oxidase proteins play a role in cutis laxa autosomal recessive type 1 condition. Other studies have also suggested that lysyl oxidase may also be involved in intracellular signaling and may function as a tumor suppressor.

Thermosensitive hydrogels have been studied for potential application as promising alternative cell carriers in cell-based regenerative therapies. In this study, a thermosensitive butane diisocyanate (BDI)-collagen hydrogel (BC hydrogel) was designed as an injectable cell delivery carrier of tendon stem/progenitor cells

Type I collagen, a major extracellular component of the periodontal ligament (PDL), is post-translationally modified by a series of specific enzymes. Among the collagen-modifying enzymes, lysyl oxidase (LOX) is essential to initiate collagen cross-linking and lysyl hydroxylases (LHs) to regulate
Purpose: According to the current therapeutic guidelines of the WHO physical activity and exercise are recommended as first-line therapy of arterial hypertension. Previous results lead to the conclusion, however, that hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with established hypertension cannot
