Prolysyl oxidase activation

Definitions
Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is secreted to the extracellular space in an inactive, proenzyme form (proLOX). This is proteolytically cleaved between Gly168 and Asp169 generating the mature 32-kDa enzyme. The activating proteinase is Bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP1), also called Procollagen C-proteinase (Cronshaw et al. 1995, Panchenko et al. 1996). Other extracellular proteases, including the BMP1 variant mammalian tolloid, tolloid-like (TLL) 1 and TLL2 proteases cleave proLOX at the correct physiological site but with lower efficiency (Uzel et al. 2001).
