Understanding the biological molecular mechanisms involved in glioma progression is critical for studying oncogenic mechanisms and improving prognosis. Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) is a kind of lysyl oxidase catalyzing the formation of peptidyl-lysine residues and promoting intramolecular cross-linking, especially for proteins in extracellular matrix. Our study explored the expression pattern of LOXL2 in glioma for the first time and found that its high expression was associated with larger tumor size and advanced tumor grade (P |
