Abstract excerpt
The propeptide (LOX-PP) domain of the lysyl oxidase proenzyme was shown to inhibit the transformed phenotype of breast, lung and pancreatic cells in culture and the formation of Her2/neu-driven breast cancer in a xenograft model. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs1800449) positioned in a highly conserved region of LOX-PP results in an Arg158Gln substitution (humans). This arginine (Arg)→glutamine (Gln)...
