TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityIsoform 1: Predominantly detected in the heart, placenta, lung, and small intestine (PubMed:17018530). Isoform 2: Highly detected in the kidney, pancreas, spleen, and thymus, and is absent in lung (PubMed:17018530). In eye, present in all layers of corneas as well as in the limbus and conjunctiva (at protein level) (PubMed:26218558). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018530, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26218558}.

Subcellular location [CC]Secreted, extracellular space {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z175}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28065600}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28065600}. Note=It is unclear how LOXL3 is both intracellular (cytoplasmic and nuclear) and extracellular: it contains a clear signal sequence and is predicted to localize in the extracellular medium. However, the intracellular location is clearly reported and at least another protein of the family (LOXL2) also has intracellular and extracellular localization despite the presence of a signal sequence (PubMed:28065600). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28065600}.;
[Isoform 1]: Secreted, extracellular space {ECO:0000305}.;
[Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018530}. Secreted, extracellular space {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018530}.
