Did you mean Lysyl Hydroxylase?

GlossaryLysyl Hydroxylase

enzyme modifying lysine in collagen for tissue strength

Lysyl Hydroxylase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the formation of collagen, a protein that provides structure and strength to connective tissues like skin, hair, and bones. It specifically modifies lysine residues in collagen, enabling the collagen fibers to form stable cross-links, which are essential for the tissue's mechanical properties. Deficiencies or mutations in this enzyme can lead to connective tissue disorders.
