Plod3 - procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 3

Enables procollagen glucosyltransferase activity and procollagen-lysine 5-dioxygenase activity. Involved in hydroxylysine biosynthetic process and peptidyl-lysine hydroxylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; endothelial cell morphogenesis; and extracellular matrix organization. Located in several cellular components, including collagen-containing extracellular matrix; endoplasmic reticulum; and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including ear; hindlimb; incisor; nasal capsule; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PLOD3 (procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 3).
