LSD1 (Lysine-specific Histone Demethylase 1A, BRAF35-HDAC Complex Protein BHC110, Flavin-containing Amine Oxidase Domain-containing Protein 2, KDM1A, AOF2, KDM1, KIAA0601)

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. 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. 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. Experiments have shown that CoREST, a SANT domain-containing corepressor acts to enhance LSD1 activity, while BHC80, a PHD domain-containing protein, inhibits CoREST/LSD1 activity in vitro. LSD1-mediated histone demethylation thus may have significant effects on gene expression.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
