The Expression Patterns and Roles of Lysyl Oxidases in Aortic Dissection

The Expression Patterns and Roles of Lysyl Oxidases in Aortic Dissection

Background: Lysyl oxidases (LOXs), including LOX, LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3, and LOXL4, catalyze the formation of a cross-link between elastin (ELN) and collagen. Multiple LOX mutations have been shown to be associated with the occurrence of aortic dissection (AD) in humans, and LOX-knockout mice died dur...
