Lysyl oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of peptidyl lysine to alpha-aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde, the precursor to the covalent crosslinkages that stabilize fibers of elastin and collagen. This enzyme contains both copper and a carbonyl cofactor consistent with an o-quinone. The proposed mechanism of action is derived from available kinetic and chemical data and also can account for mechanism-based inhibition of the enzyme by specific monoamines and diamines. Recent evidence for biosynthetic precursors and for the regulation of lysyl oxidase in fibrotic and malignant diseases is discussed.
