The LSD1 Homogeneous Assay Kit is designed to measure activity of lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) for screening and profiling applications. The key to the LSD1 Homogeneous Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes demethylated substrate. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for demethylase detection. First, a sample containing LSD1 enzyme is incubated with the biotinylated substrate. Next, acceptor beads and primary antibody are added, then donor beads, followed by reading the Alpha-counts.

LSD1 is a chromatin-modifying enzyme that specifically removes methyl groups from mono- and dimethylated Lys of histone H3. LSD1 is a critical component of transcriptional regulation via epigenetic histone modifications and is therefore a potential target for drug development.

Disclaimers and Limitations
BPS Bioscience assay kits are validated using the listed components according to our specific protocol. Any deviations to kit components or protocols, such as using different proteins, cell/tissue lysates, or buffers (including using the same component from other commercial sources) will void any warranties on the performance of the assay kit and is not recommended.
End-users should immediately report any issues to [email protected] upon receipt of the kit, such as missing components, damaged vials, no dry ice, etc.
