abstractText | Lysyl oxidase initiates crosslink formation of the connective tissue matrix. This enzyme can also revert the ras phenotype in mouse NIH 3T3-transformed cells. Even though lysyl oxidase may participate in many different biological processes, its chromosomal assignment in the mouse genome remains to be addressed. Southern analysis of a panel of Chinese hamster x mouse somatic cell hybrids was utilized to assign the lysyl oxidase gene (Lox) to mouse Chromosome 18. |
