Introduction

Lysyl Oxidase also known as LOX  is an extracellular copper enzyme which initiates the crosslinking of collagens and  elastin. LOX catalyzes oxidative deamination of the epsilon-amino group in certain lysine and hydroxylysine residues of collagens and lysine residues of elastin. Adding up to crosslinking extracellular matrix proteins, LOX plays a part in tumor suppression. Moreover, defects in LOX are the cause of autosomal recessive cutis laxa type I, CL type I. Two transcript variants encoding dissimilar isoforms have been found for LOX.

Description

LOX Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 272 amino acids (169-417a.a) and having a molecular mass of 31.4kDa.
LOX is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

E.coli.
