The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000129038 (LOXL1, lysyl oxidase like 1) is as follows. Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of lysine and hydroxylysine residues in collagen and elastin, resulting in the formation of covalent cross-linkages, and the stabilization of collagen and elastin fibers (By similarity). Essential for the elastic fiber homeostasis and for their maintenance at adult age (By similarity). .
