Novel lysyl hydroxylase isoforms

Abstract Lysyl hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.4, procollagen-lysine 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase, PLOD) catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysine residues in collagens and other proteins. It occurs as a post-translational event. The hydroxylysine residues participate in the formation of covalent cross-links t...
