Background
This gene encodes a member of the lysyl oxidase genefamily. The prototypic member of the family is essential to thebiogenesis of connective tissue, encoding an extracellularcopper-dependent amine oxidase that catalyses the first step in theformation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. A highlyconserved amino acid sequence at the C-terminus end appears to besufficient for amine oxidase activity, suggesting that each familymember may retain this function. The N-terminus is poorly conservedand may impart additional roles in developmental regulation,senescence, tumor suppression, cell growth control, and chemotaxisto each member of the family.
