Synonyms: Anti-LOX; Anti-Protein lysine 6-oxidase

Storage: -20C

UNSPSC Code: 12352203

General description: The gene LOX (lysyl oxidase) encodes a copper-dependent amine oxidase that belongs to LOX family of proteins. These proteins contain highly conserved C- terminal mature catalytic domains that include the copper binding site, the lysyl tyrosyl quinine (LTQ) cofactor residues, and the cytokine receptor like (CRL) domain. It is present in both intercellular and intracellular locations.

Application: Anti-Lysyl Oxidase (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoflorescence and western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions: The gene LOX (lysyl oxidase) encodes an extracellular matrix remodeling enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of primary amino group of peptidyl lysine to reactive peptidyl aldehydes. It is mainly involved in the oxidation of lysine residues in elastin and collagen, resulting in the formation of covalent cross-linkages, which stabilize these fibrous proteins. It also plays a role in several cellular processes such as developmental regulation, tumor suppression, cell motility, and cellular senescence. It is involved in hypoxia-induced metastasis and serves as a therapeutic target for the treatment of metastases.

Immunogen: synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 299-318 of human lysyl oxidase (LOX), conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse LOX and highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in rat LOX.

Physical form: Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
