Component
Collagen/elastin peptidyl allysine products
Protein-bound site or substrate state, not free dietary L-lysine. Sequence and assay context limit the relationship.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
Where it participates (unsigned role)
Lysyl oxidase converts suitable peptidyl lysines to allysine, producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
Experimental context and source evidence
- experimental_model
- LOXL2 assay development and total-family activity detection in cultured cells and tissue.
- limitations
- Substrate sites and enzyme-family members differ; peroxide production alone does not establish systemic oxidative injury.
- organism
- Mammalian cells/tissues and recombinant LOXL2; see study methods
- plain_language
- An enzyme creates reactive attachment sites used in matrix cross-linking.
