Histone modifications mediate changes in gene expression by altering chromatin structure or by serving as a platform to recruit other proteins. LSD1 is a recently discovered amine oxidase that catalyzes the lysine-specific demethylation of histone proteins via an FAD-dependent oxidative reaction (1). Methylation on histone H3-K9 is thought to play an important role in heterochromatin formation, while methylation on arginine and some lysine residues (such as H3-K4) is associated with active transcription (2). LSD1 associates with various proteins, including HDAC1/2, CoREST, and BHC80, that act to regulate LSD1 activity in vivo, and in a histone H3-K4-specific methylase complex that is involved in transcriptional regulation (3,4). Experiments have shown that CoREST, a SANT domain-containing corepressor (5) acts to enhance LSD1 activity, while BHC80, a PHD domain-containing protein (6), inhibits CoREST/LSD1 activity in vitro (3). LSD1-mediated histone demethylation thus may have significant effects on gene expression.

Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The information provided is a guideline for product use. This product is for research use only.
Anti-LSD1 antibody (8223) was raised against a peptide corresponding to 19 amino acids near the amino terminus of human LSD1.
The immunogen is located within amino acids 90-140 of LSD1.
Human LSD1 has 2 isoforms, including isoform 1 (852aa, 93kD) and isoform 2 (876aa, 95kD). Mouse LSD1 has one isoform (853aa, 93kD) and Rat LSD1 also has one isoform (872aa, 95kD). 8223 can detect LSD1 in human, mouse and rat.
