Background:  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 within the extracellular matrix. It can localize both to the nucleus and the cytoplasm. 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. LOXL4 is an extracellular protein that is widely expressed. Highest expression levels have been detected in testis, pancreas, cartilage and skeletal muscle.
