What (who) is lysyl oxidase - definition


Lysyl oxidase         
MAMMALIAN PROTEIN FOUND IN HOMO SAPIENS
Lysyl Oxidase; Protein-lysine 6-oxidase; LOX (gene); EC 1.4.3.13; Protein-L-lysine:oxygen 6-oxidoreductase (deaminating)
Lysyl oxidase (LOX), also known as protein-lysine 6-oxidase, is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the LOX gene. It catalyzes the conversion of lysine molecules into highly reactive aldehydes that form cross-links in extracellular matrix proteins.
Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase         
MAMMALIAN PROTEIN FOUND IN HOMO SAPIENS
Coproporphyrinogen oxidase; Coproporphyrinogen iii oxidase; CPOX (gene); Coproporphyrinogen:oxygen oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
Coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase, mitochondrial (abbreviated as CPOX) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPOX gene. A genetic defect in the enzyme results in a reduced production of heme in animals.
Catechol oxidase         
  • Proposed catalytic cycle of catechol oxidase purified from ''Ipomoea batata''.
  • The reduced (Cu(I)-Cu(I)) and native (Cu(II)-Cu(II)) catechol oxidase di-copper active site from the ''Ipomoea batata'' crystal structure (PDB: 1BT1, 1BT2).
  • Overall reaction catalyzed by catechol oxidase: production of two o-quinones and 2 molecules of water from two molecules of catechol and one molecule of dioxygen.
CLASS OF ENZYMES
EC 1.10.3.1; 1.10.3.1; O-diphenol oxidase; 1,2-benzenediol:oxygen oxidoreductase; O-Diphenol oxidase
Catechol oxidase is a copper oxidase that contains a type 3 di-copper cofactor and catalyzes the oxidation of ortho-diphenols into ortho-quinones coupled with the reduction of molecular oxygen to water. It is present in a variety of species of plants and fungi including Ipomoea batatas (sweet potato) and Camellia sinensis (Indian tea leaf).
