Description
Product Characteristics: Lysyl hydroxylase is a membrane-bound homodimeric protein localized to the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme (cofactors iron and ascorbate) catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysyl residues in collagen-like peptides. The resultant hydroxylysyl groups are attachment sites for carbohydrates in collagen and thus are critical for the stability of intermolecular crosslinks. Some patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI have deficiencies in lysyl hydroxylase activity. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.,PLOD1,EDS6,LH,LH1,LLH,PLOD,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Signal Transduction,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Cytoskeleton,Extracellular Matrix,Collagen,PLOD1
