Scientific Background : LOXL2 is a member of the lysyl oxidase gene family which is essential for the biogenesis of connective tissue. LOXL2 encodes an extracellular copper-dependent amine oxidase that catalyses the first step in the formation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. LOXL2 may play an important role in developmental regulation, senescence, tumor suppression, cell growth control, and chemotaxis to each member of the family (1). LOXL2 may mediate fibroblast activation through enzymatic crosslinking of fibrillar collagen and local matrix tention, resulting in activation of TGFβ1 signaling (2).
