Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Store at 2-8 degree C for one month.
Aliquot and store at -80 degree C for 12 months.
Stability Test:
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Activity
(Lysyl oxidase (LOX) also known as protein-lysine 6-oxidase is an extracellular copper-dependent enzyme that catalyzes formation of aldehydes from lysine residues in collagen and elastin precursors. Its catalytic activity depends upon both its copper cofactor and a unique carbonyl cofactor and has been shown to extend to a variety of basic globular proteins, including histone H1. LOX plays a major role in connective tissue development and may also be important in neurological function. Lysyl oxidase has also proven crucial to the development of the respiratory system and the skin, the commitment step of adipocyte, and the formation of pluripotent stem cells during development. Its absence may lead to defects in the transforming growth factor beta superfamily of proteins, which control cell growth and differentiation. Besides, Elastin (ELN) has been identified as an interactor of LOX, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human LOX and recombinant human ELN. Briefly, LOX were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100uL were then transferred to ELN-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37°C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-LOX pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37°C. Finally, add 50uL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of LOX and ELN was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.)

Product Notes
The LOX lox (Catalog #AAA21109) is an Active Protein produced from E. coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Active Lysyl Oxidase (LOX) reacts with Homo sapiens (Human) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Lysyl Oxidase (LOX) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell culture; Activity Assays. (May be suitable for use in other assays to be determined by the end user.). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the LOX lox for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Lysyl Oxidase (LOX), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
