The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound
homodimeric enzyme that is localized to the cisternae of the rough
endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme (cofactors iron and ascorbate)
catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysyl residues in collagen-like
peptides. The resultant hydroxylysyl groups are attachment sites
for carbohydrates in collagen and thus are critical for the
stability of intermolecular crosslinks. Some patients with
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIB have deficiencies in lysyl
hydroxylase activity.1) Wang, C., et al. J. Cell. Mol. Med. 13(3):508-521(2009)
