Background InformationLysyl oxidase homolog 2 (UniProt: Q9Y4K0; also known as EC: 1.4.3.13, Lysyl oxidase-like protein 2, Lysyl oxidase-related protein 2, Lysyl oxidase-related protein WS9-14, LOXL2) is encoded by the LOXL2 gene (Gene ID: 4017) in human. The copper-dependent LOX family contain four LOX homologs (LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3, and LOXL4). LOXL2 localizes to both cytoplasmic and nuclear region. It catalyzes the post-translational oxidative deamination of lysine residues on target proteins leading to the formation of deaminated lysine (allysine). When secreted in extracellular matrix, it promotes cross-linking of extracellular matrix proteins by mediating oxidative deamination of peptidyl lysine residues in precursors to fibrous collagen and elastin. LOXL2 also acts as a regulator of sprouting angiogenesis, probably via collagen IV scaffolding. When present in the nucleus, it acts as a transcription corepressor and specifically mediates deamination of trimethylated Lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me3), a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Overexpression of LOXL2 has been reported in a number of cancers and its ability to promote epithelial to mesenchymal transition suggest that it might play a role in tumor progression. Higher expression has been correlated with metastasis and reduced survival in patients with aggressive breast cancer. LOXL2 is shown to upregulate in gliomas and drives tumorigenicity by activating autophagy. LOXL2 activity is strongly induced in hypoxia, and it is reported to be a direct transcriptional target of HIF1A. (Ref.: Grossman, M., et al. (2020). Cancer Res; 76(14); 4249-4258; Zhang, Q., et al.
