Expression of lysyl hydroxylases and characterization of a novel disorder caused by mutations in the lysyl hydroxylase 3 gene

Abstract Collagens and collagenous proteins undergo several post-translational modifications that are important for their structure and functions. Lysine hydroxylation produces hydroxylysines, which are important for collagen cross-link formation and provide attachment sites for galactose and gluco...
