anti-LSD1 (aa 450-500) Antibody

LSD1

Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (BRAF35-HDAC complex protein BHC110) (Flavin-containing amine oxidase domain-containing protein 2)

LSD1 the first known lysine-specific histone demethylase, is an 866 amino acid nuclear protein belonging to flavin monoamine oxidase family. It contains a SWIRM domain, a FAD-binding motif and an amine oxidase domain. This protein is ubiquitously expressed and is a component of several histone deacetylase complexes. LSD1 acts as a component of the CoREST and other transcriptional co-repressor complexes and also plays an important role in silencing neuronal-specific genes in non-neuronal cells. It is also known to demethylate Lys4 of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Reports sμggest that that LSD1 plays an important role in stimulating androgen-receptor-dependent transcription converting oxygen to hydrogen peroxide (might use alternative electron acceptors). Along with nuclear FHL2, LSD1 serves as a novel biomarker predictive for prostate cancer.

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), the first identified histone demethylase, was belonged to the superfamily of the Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent amine oxidases. LSD1 specifically demethylates mono- or dimethylated dimethylated histone H3 lysine4 (H3K4) and H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) via a redox process. Recently evidences showed that LSD1 played an important role in a broad spectrum of biological processes, including cell proliferation, adipogenesis, spermatogenesis, chromosome segregation and embryonic development. Furthermore, LSD1 also could promote progress of tumor by inhibiting the tumor suppressor activity of p53. To date, as a potential drug for discovering anti-tumor drugs, the medical significance of LSD1 inhibitors have been greatly appreciated. Here, we reviewed the remarkable progress being made in understanding of LSD1, mainly on its structure, basic function and medical application in tumor therapy.
