Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity; oligosaccharide binding activity; and protein-lysine 6-oxidase activity. Involved in negative regulation of stem cell population maintenance; positive regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; and response to hypoxia. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in brain; chondrocranium; renal cortical interstitium; and visceral epithelium of mature renal corpuscle. Orthologous to human LOXL2 (lysyl oxidase like 2).
