Application

Anti-LOXL1 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1µg/mL.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The encoded protein belongs to lysyl oxidase gene family and is mapped on to chromosome 15 at 15q24-q25. It is an extracellular protein with elastin and collagen as the chief substrates. It plays a crucial role in oxidizing the epsilon (ε) amino group in lysine to produce an aldehyde group. Lysyl oxidases are copper amine oxidases that facilitate the biogenesis of connective tissue by initiating the covalent crosslinking between collagens and elastin. Defect in LOXL1 gene expression is associated with exfoliation disease development.
