products description :
Recombinant human LOXL1 (292-end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. Scientific Background: LOXL1 is a member of the lysyl oxidase gene family which is essential to the biogenesis of connective tissue. LOXL1 encodes an extracellular copper-dependent amine oxidase that catalyses the first step in the formation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. LOXL1 is responsible for catalyzing the oxidative deamination of lysine residues of tropoelastin and this deamination causes spontaneous cross-linking and formation of elastin polymer fibers (1). LOXL1 serves both as a crosslinking enzyme and an element of the scaffold to ensure spatially defined deposition of elastin (2).

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the lysyl oxidase gene family. The prototypic member of the family is essential to the biogenesis of connective tissue, encoding an extracellular copper-dependent amine oxidase that catalyses the first step in the formation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. A highly conserved amino acid sequence at the C-terminus end appears to be sufficient for amine oxidase activity, suggesting that each family member may retain this function. The N-terminus is poorly conserved and may impart additional roles in developmental regulation, senescence, tumor suppression, cell growth control, and chemotaxis to each member of the family.

uniprot summary :
Function: Active on elastin and collagen substrates . By similarity. Cofactor: Copper . By similarity.Contains 1 lysine tyrosylquinone . By similarity. Subcellular location: Secreted extracellular space . Potential. Tissue specificity: Expressed in ocular tissues including the iris, ciliary body, lens and optic nerve. Not detected in the retina. Ref.7. Post-translational modification: The lysine tyrosylquinone cross-link (LTQ) is generated by condensation of the epsilon-amino group of a lysine with a topaquinone produced by oxidation of tyrosine. Involvement in disease: Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) [MIM:177650]: A disorder characterized by accumulation of abnormal fibrillar deposits in the anterior segment of the eye. In addition to being a cause of glaucoma and glaucomatous optic neuropathy, exfoliation syndrome has also been associated with lens zonule weakness, cataract formation, and systemic vascular complications due to deposition of exfoliation material in extraocular tissues.Note: Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Susceptibility to exfoliation syndrome is conferred by a risk haplotype that includes two LOXL1 coding non-synonymous SNPs (Arg141Leu and Gly153Asp) and one intronic SNP. Arg141Leu and Gly153Asp are sufficient to confer disease susceptibility in some populations. Ref.6. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the lysyl oxidase family.
