Lysyl Hydroxylase 3 (LH3) is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the post-translational modification of collagen. This enzyme is a member of the lysyl hydroxylase family, which catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysine residues in collagen, a crucial step in collagen biosynthesis. LH3 specifically hydroxylates lysine residues to form hydroxylysine, which is essential for the stability and function of collagen.
