epitope corresponding to amino acids 161-225 mapping within an internal region of LOXL2 of human origin
Modification Notes
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. 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. LOXL2 is an extracellular protein that localizes specifically to sites of elastogenesis. It serves as a cross-linking enzyme, controlling the deposition of elastin and interacts with Fibulin-5. LOXL2 and LOXL3 can interact and cooperate with the Snail protein to downregulate E-cadherin expression. In epithelial cells, overexpression of LOXL2 or LOXL3 may induce an epithelial-mesenchymal transitions process, an important element in tumor progression. Knockdown of the LOXL2 protein significantly decreases tumor growth.
