GSK LSD1 Dihydrochloride is an irreversible mechanism-based inhibitor of LSD1. Lysine-specific demthylase 1 (LSD1) belonges to the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) family-dependant amine oxidases that include MAOs and PAOs. Inhibits cell proliferation in cancer cell lines.
Uses
GSK-LSD1 has been used as a lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor in mice to study sepsis-induced mortality. It has also been used as an inhibitor to study if the effect of phenelzine activation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) latency is caused due to LSD1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
GSK-LSD1 is a potent and selective inhibitor of lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1). GSK-LSD1 potently inhibits proliferation of varies cancer cell lines by changing gene expression patterns.
