Opis

General description

The LOX gene is located on the human chromosome at 5q23.1.

The gene LOX (lysyl oxidase) encodes a copper-dependent amine oxidase that belongs to LOX family of proteins. These proteins contain highly conserved C- terminal mature catalytic domains that include the copper binding site, the lysyl tyrosyl quinine (LTQ) cofactor residues, and the cytokine receptor like (CRL) domain. It is present in both intercellular and intracellular locations.

Application

Anti-Lysyl Oxidase (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• western blotting[1]
• immunofluorescence staining
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Altered LOX gene expression and activity are linked to skin aging and senescence. Decreased LOX gene expression and activity have been associated with severe connective tissue disorders such as Ehler-Danlos syndrome, cutis laxa, and Menkes′ syndrome. Increased LOX gene expression are associated with the development of fibrotic diseases that involve connective tissue remodeling, such as atherosclerosis, scleroderma and liver cirrhosis. LOX protein also plays an important role in breast cancer metastasis.

Anti-Lysyl Oxidase (C-terminal) specifically recognizes human lysyl oxidase (LOX).

LOX is implicated in various intracellular functions such as the regulation of cellular differentiation, cell migration and gene transcription.

The gene LOX (lysyl oxidase) encodes an extracellular matrix remodeling enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of primary amino group of peptidyl lysine to reactive peptidyl aldehydes. It is mainly involved in the oxidation of lysine residues in elastin and collagen, resulting in the formation of covalent cross-linkages, which stabilize these fibrous proteins. It also plays a role in several cellular processes such as developmental regulation, tumor suppression, cell motility, and cellular senescence. It is involved in hypoxia-induced metastasis and serves as a therapeutic target for the treatment of metastases.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Preparation Note

For continuous use, store at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
