Function
Responsible for the post-translational oxidative deamination of peptidyl lysine residues in precursors to fibrous collagen and elastin. Regulator of Ras expression. May play a role in tumor suppression.

Tissue Specificity: Heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung and pancreas
Disease Association: Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 10 (AAT10) : A form of thoracic aortic aneurysm, a disease characterized by permanent dilation of the thoracic aorta usually due to degenerative changes in the aortic wall. It is primarily associated with a characteristic histologic appearance known as 'medial necrosis' or 'Erdheim cystic medial necrosis' in which there is degeneration and fragmentation of elastic fibers, loss of smooth muscle cells, and an accumulation of basophilic ground substance. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
