Feb 09, 2015 · Collagen cross-linking is initiated in the extracellular space by the action of lysyl oxidase (LOX), a secreted copper-dependent amine oxidase that converts telopeptidyl lysine (Lys) and hydroxylysine (Hyl) residues to reactive aldehydes (Lys ald and Hyl ald, respectively) that condense with juxtaposed Lys, Hyl, and histidine (His) residues to ...
