| Product Name | Human Protein-lysine 6-oxidase (LOX) ELISA Kit |
|---|---|
| Description | Lysyl oxidase is a protein. Its inhibition can cause lathyrism, but at the same time, its upregulation by tumor cells may promote metastasis of the existing tumor, causing it to become malignant and cancerous.Lysyl oxidase is an extracellular copper enzyme that catalyzes formation of aldehydes from lysine residues in collagen and elastin precursors.These aldehydes are highly reactive, and undergo spontaneous chemical reactions with other lysyl oxidase-derived aldehyde residues, or with unmodified lysine residues. This results in cross-linking collagen and elastin, which is essential for stabilization of collagen fibrils and for the integrity and elasticity of mature elastin.Complex cross-links are formed in collagen and in elastin that differ in structure. This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human LOX. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human LOX and analogues was observed. |
