Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) is a copper-dependant amine oxidase that plays an essential role in elastogenesis. Two non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms of LOXL1, R141L (rs1048661) and G153D (rs3825942), have been reported to significantly increase susceptibility to exfoliation glaucoma (XFG). To evaluate the impact of the R141L and G153D variations on the amine oxidase activity of LOXL1, we...
