General Information

General Information Comment Organism
drug target normalizing the cross-link pattern by selectively inhibiting LH2 (and thus hydroxy-alpha-aminoadipic acid-delta-semialdehyde cross-linking) alters the balance of collagen degradation. It is expected that this results in reversible fibrosis. Since the up-regulation of LH2 is seen in all organs, a drug that specifically inhibits LH2 activity can be used in a wide range of fibrotic disorders. Since LH2 catalyzes only a single reaction downstream in the fibrogenic cascade (namely the formation of unwanted cross-links in collagen of the fibrotic lesions), little (if any) side-effects are expected, as the deposited collagen in the wound area is expected to be normally modified, and thus have the properties (e.g. with respect to tensile strength) required for a normal function of the repaired tissue Homo sapiens
physiological function lysyl hydroxylase 2 is responsible for the formation of telopeptidyl hydroxylysine, leading to the formation of hydroxy-alpha-aminoadipic acid-delta-semialdehyde cross-links by lysyl oxidases. The enzyme is universally up-regulated in fibrosis Homo sapiens
