Hamster Lysyl Oxidase ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an extracellular copper enzyme that initiates the crosslinking of collagens and elastin. The enzyme catalyzes oxidative deamination of the epsilon-amino group in certain lysine and hydroxylysine residues of collagens and lysine residues of elastin. In addition to crosslinking extracellular matrix proteins, the encoded protein may have a role in tumor suppression. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cutis laxa type I (CL type I). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Product Notes
The Hamster LOX lox (Catalog #AAA014505) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA014505 ELISA Kit recognizes Hamster LOX. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Lysyl Oxidase, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
