PLOD1 rabbit pAb

catalytic activity:Procollagen L-lysine + 2-oxoglutarate + O(2) = procollagen 5-hydroxy-L-lysine + succinate + CO(2).,cofactor:Ascorbate.,cofactor:Iron.,disease:Defects in PLOD1 are the cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6 (EDS6) [MIM:225400]. EDS is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, atrophic cutaneous scars due to tissue fragility and joint hyperlaxity. EDS6 is characterized by the presence of ocular complications, particularly retinal detachment.,disease:Defects in PLOD1 are the cause of Nevo syndrome [MIM:601451]. This is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased perinatal length, kyphosis, muscular hypotonia, and joint laxity. Nevo syndrome and EDS-VI have similar clinical phenotypes. Some authors consider that both syndromes are the same clinical entity.,function:Forms hydroxylysine residues in -Xaa-Lys-Gly- sequences in collagens. These hydroxylysines serve as sites of attachment for carbohydrate units and are essential for the stability of the intermolecular collagen cross-links.,similarity:Contains 1 PKHD (prolyl/lysyl hydroxylase) domain.,subunit:Homodimer.,
