Lox - lysyl oxidase Gene
Also Known as rrg; TSC-160
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
This gene encodes a precursor protein that belongs to the Lysyl Oxidase family of proteins. The secreted proprotein is proteolytically processed to an active mature peptide and a propeptide. This propeptide is thought to function in tumor suppression by inhibiting the Ras signaling pathway. The active enzyme plays a role in cross-linking of Collagen and elastin and is essential for development of cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and development of skin and connective tissue. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]
