The cross-linking of the connective tissues in the fetal membranes and placenta is important
for their tensile strength and elasticity. We have studied the expression of lysyl oxidase …

We have reported in this paper the complete cDNA sequence, gene structure, and tissue-
specific expression of LOXL2, a new amine oxidase and a member of an emerging family of …

Abstract Lysyl oxidase (EC 1.4. 3.13) initiates the crosslinking of collagens and elastin by
catalyzing oxidative deamination of the ϵ-amino group in certain lysine and hydroxylysine …

Lysyl oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the oxidation of the side chain of a peptidyl lysine converting
specific lysine and hydroxylysine residues of a–aminoadipic-d-semialdehydes, which form …

Polyclonal antibodies to human placenta lysyl oxidase (Kuivaniemi et al., 1984) were used
to localize the enzyme at ultrastructural level in human placenta, skin and aorta, by using the …

We report here the complete cDNA sequence and exon-intron organization of the human
lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) 3 gene, a new member of the lysyl oxidase (LO) gene family. The …

Lysyl oxidase (LOX), originally known as the enzyme required for initiation of covalent cross-
linking in collagens and elastin, is now known to be a member of a family of genetically …

Lysyl oxidase (LOX) and lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) are extracellular enzymes that deaminate
peptidyl lysyl residues involved in the cross-linking of fibrillar collagens and elastin. While …

Lysyl oxidase from human placentas gave four catalytically active forms on DEAE-cellulose
chromatography in 6 M urea. The first tow of these were combined to form pool I and the …

Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is an enzyme responsible for the cross-linking of collagen and elastin
both in vitro andin vivo. The unique functions of the individual members of this multigene …
