Description

General description

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.

Specificity

Rabbit polyclonal anti-Lysyl Oxidase antibody specifically recognizes human lysyl oxidase (LOX). Detection of the LOX band by immunoblotting is specifically inhibited by the LOX immunizing peptide.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.
