    basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the hydroxylation of lysyl residues in collagenous sequences
  • extracellular matrix maintenance, playing an important role in fibrotic processes
  • collagen telopeptide, bifunctional protein having a potential role in the pathogenesis of fibrosis
  • FKBP10, PLOD2 and SERPINH1, acts during procollagen maturation to contribute to molecular stability and post-translational modification of type I procollagen, without which bone mass and quality are abnormal and fractures and contractures result
  • P4HA1, P4HA2, and PLOD2 mediate remodeling of ECM composition, alignment, and mechanical properties in response to hypoxia
  • hydroxylates lysine residues in collagen telopeptides and is essential for collagen pyridinoline cross-link formation
  • PLOD2 regulated by HIF1A is a potential regulator of peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer
  • promotes cell invasiveness and migration in GC (gastric cancer) under hypoxia and lead to peritoneal dissemination of GC
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • FKBP10 forms complexes with PLOD2 splice variants LH2A and LH2B but not with PLOD1 and PLOD3
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • iron, ascorbate
  • protein
  • interaction with PITX2 (reduced PITX2 expression could decrease PLOD2 expression and hence facilitate ovarian ECM degradation, leading to hypothyroidism associated reproductive disorders)
  • RBFOX2 plays an integral role in the regulation of PLOD2 splicing
  • RBFOX2, RBFOX1
  • HIF1A activates expression of genes encoding collagen prolyl (P4HA1 and P4HA2) and lysyl (PLOD2) hydroxylases
  • regulated by HIF1A and mediates extracellular matrix remodeling, alignment, and mechanical properties
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other regulated by PITX2 (homeodomain transcription factor, which regulates PLOD2 gene in brain tissue, transactivates gonadotropin genes in pituitary and plays a substantial role in cell growth and proliferation in different tissues)
