Thus, intracellular LOXL3 possibly exerts a tumour suppressive effect, while the activity of this enzyme in the context of tumour-associated inflammatory processes could possibly promote tumour progression.[114-115] These findings show that lysyl oxidases appear to have an important function in the post-translational modification of intracellular proteins, also with regard to epigenetic regulation processes. This evidence concerns the gene LOXL3 and neoplasm.
