Gene: LOXL3

Alternate names for this Gene: LOXL

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a lysyl oxidase, which likely functions as an amine oxidase and plays a role in the formation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. Deletion of the related gene in mouse causes neonatal mortality with cleft palate, spine deformity, and defects in collagen organization. A mutation in this gene was found in a family with Stickler syndrome.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p13.1

Description of this Gene: lysyl oxidase like 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
