Simtuzumab (AB 0024; GS 6624) is a monoclonal antibody directed against Lysyl oxidase like-2 (LOXL2). Simtuzumab can be used for the research of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).• Lysyl Oxidase (LOX) Family Members: Rationale and Their Potential as Therapeutic Targets for Liver Fibrosis., PMID:32176358• Macrophages direct cancer cells through a LOXL2-mediated metastatic cascade in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma., PMID:35428659• RNA-binding protein RPS7 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression via LOXL2-dependent activation of ITGB1/FAK/SRC signaling., PMID:38326908• Human lysyl oxidase-like 2., PMID:25146937• Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2)-mediated cross-linking of tropoelastin., PMID:30676771• HIF-1α promoted vasculogenic mimicry formation in hepatocellular carcinoma through LOXL2 up-regulation in hypoxic tumor microenvironment., PMID:28449718• Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) controls tumor-associated cell proliferation through the interaction with MARCKSL1., PMID:24863880• LOXL2 in Cancer: A Two-Decade Perspective., PMID:37762708• LOXL2-induced PEAR1 Ser891 phosphorylation suppresses CD44 degradation and promotes triple-negative breast cancer metastasis., PMID:39145451• Levoleucovorin inhibits LOXL2 (lysyl oxidase like-2) to control breast cancer proliferation: a repurposing approach., PMID:37340696
