LOX Human Recombinant produced in E. Coli is a single,non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 272 amino acids (169-417a.a) andhaving a molecular mass of 31.4kDa. LOX is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Lysyl Oxidase also known as LOX is an extracellular copper enzyme which initiates the crosslinking ofcollagens and elastin. LOX catalyzesoxidative deamination of the epsilon-amino group in certain lysine andhydroxylysine residues of collagens and lysine residues of elastin. Adding upto crosslinking extracellular matrix proteins, LOX plays a part in tumorsuppression. Moreover, defects in LOX are the cause of autosomal recessivecutis laxa type I, CL type I. Two transcript variants encoding dissimilar isoformshave been found for LOX.
