Description
General description
110 kDa
Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates ′Lys-4′ of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, thereby acting as a corepressor. Acts by oxidizing the substrate by FAD to generate the corresponding imine that is subsequently hydrolyzed. Demethylates both mono- and tri-methylted ′Lys-4′ of histone H3. May play a role in the repression of neuronal genes. Alone, it is unable to demethylate H3 ′Lys-4′ on nucleosomes and requires the presence of RCOR1/CoREST to achieve such activity. May also demethylate ′Lys-9′ of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, thereby leading to derepression of androgen receptor target genes.
Immunogen
GST fusion protein corresponding to residues 23-138 of human LSD1.
Application

Biochem/physiol Actions
Recognizes LSD1, Mr 110 kDa.
Physical form
Mouse monoclonal in buffer containing 0.05% sodium azide and 30% glycerol.
Unpurified
Preparation Note
Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations:
Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variabillity in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.
Analysis Note
Control
HeLa cell lysate.
Routinely evaluated by western blot.
Western Blot Analysis:
1:500-1:2000 dilution of this lot detected LSD1 in RIPA lysates from HeLa cells.
