Function
Cleaves the propeptides of type I and II collagen prior to fibril assembly. Does not act on type III collagen. Cleaves lysyl oxidase LOX at a site downstream of its propeptide cleavage site to produce a short LOX form with reduced collagen-binding activity.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix
Tissue Specificity: Expressed at high level in skin, bone, tendon and aorta and at low levels in thymus and brain
Disease Association: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, dermatosparaxis type (EDSDERMS) : A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. EDSDERMS is an autosomal recessive form characterized by extreme skin fragility and easy bruising, large fontanels, blue sclerae, puffy eyelids, micrognathia, umbilical hernia, and short fingers. Joint hypermobility becomes more important with age. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
