Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a lysyl oxidase, which likely functions as an amine oxidase and plays a role in the formation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. Deletion of the related gene in mouse causes neonatal mortality with cleft palate, spine deformity, and defects in collagen organization. A mutation in this gene was found in a family with Stickler syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016].
  • UniProt Summary: Protein-lysine 6-oxidase that mediates the oxidation of peptidyl lysine residues to allysine in target proteins (PubMed:17018530, PubMed:28065600). Catalyzes the post- translational oxidative deamination of peptidyl lysine residues in precursors of elastin and different types of collagens, a prerequisite in the formation of cross-links between collagens and elastin (PubMed:17018530). Required for somite boundary formation by catalyzing oxidation of fibronectin (FN1), enhancing integrin signaling in myofibers and their adhesion to the myotendinous junction (MTJ) (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of inflammatory response by inhibiting differentiation of naive CD4(+) T-cells into T-helper Th17 or regulatory T-cells (Treg): acts by interacting with STAT3 in the nucleus and catalyzing both deacetylation and oxidation of lysine residues on STAT3, leading to disrupt STAT3 dimerization and inhibit STAT3 transcription activity (PubMed:28065600). Oxidation of lysine residues to allysine on STAT3 preferentially takes place on lysine residues that are acetylated (PubMed:28065600). Also able to catalyze deacetylation of lysine residues on STAT3 (PubMed:28065600). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z175, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018530, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28065600}. Isoform 2: Shows protein-lysine 6-oxidase activity toward elastin and different types of collagens, with the highest activity toward collagen type IV (PubMed:17018530). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018530}.
