LOXL1
LOXL1, also known as lysyl oxidase-like 1, is a secreted enzyme encoded by the LOXL1 gene. This gene is found on chromosome 15 in humans. LOXL1 belongs to the lysyl oxidase family, which plays a crucial role in extracellular matrix formation and stabilization. The proteins in this family are involved in catalyzing the cross-linking of collagen and elastin, essential structural proteins in connective tissues.
The specific function of LOXL1 is still being investigated, but it is believed to be involved in
Research suggests that LOXL1 may also play a role in other connective tissue disorders and in the
