Background: Lysyl oxidase (LOX) proteins belong to a family of enzymes that oxidize primary amine substrated to reactive aldehydes. In fibrillar collagens and elastin, LOX catalyzes the lysine-derived cross-links of collagen fibrils and insoluble elastic fibers in the extracellular matrix. It can localize both to the nucleus and the cytoplasm. LOX is involved in tumor suppression, cell motility, cellular senescence and developmental regulation. There are four homologs of LOX, lysyl oxidase-like proteins, designated LOX-like (LOXL1-LOXL4) proteins. LOXL1 is an extracellular protein that localizes specifically to sites of elastogenesis. It serves as a cross-linking enzyme, controlling the deposition of elastin. LOXL1 interacts with Fibulin-5.
