| Official Name |
|---|
| Protein-lysine 6-oxidase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Lysyl oxidase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Peptidyl-L-lysyl-peptide + O(2) + H(2)O <=> peptidyl-allysyl-peptide + NH(3) + H(2)O(2) |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Also acts on protein 5-hydroxylysine.
- Catalyzes the final known enzymic step required for collagen and
elastin cross-linking in the biosynthesis of normal mature
extracellular matrices.
- These reactions play an important role for the development,
elasticity and extensibility of connective tissue.
- Also active on free amines, such as cadaverine or benzylamine.
