LOX is a member of a multigene family (LOX, LOXL, LOXL2, LOXL3, and LOXL4). Lysyl oxidase (LOX), a copper-dependent enzyme, plays a critical role in the formation and repair of the extracellularmatrix (ECM) by catalyzing the crosslinking of elastin and collagen. LOX expression appears to be upregulated in malignancies and has recently been suggested to play a role in regulating tumor metastasis. It is synthesized as a 50 kDa proenzyme, secreted, and processed into an 32 kDa mature, active enzyme and an 18-kDa propeptide.
