Product Overview
The
EpiQuik™ Histone Demethylase LSD1 Activity/Inhibition Assay Kit is a convenient set of tools that allows the experimenter to measure activity/inhibition of LSD1. The kit is ready-to-use and provides all the essential components needed for measuring histone demethylase LSD1 activity/inhibition from a broad range of species including mammalian cells/tissues, plants, and bacteria.
WHY CHOOSE THE EPIQUIK™ HISTONE DEMETHYLASE LSD1 ACTIVITY/INHIBITION ASSAY KIT?
- Fast procedure, which can be finished within 3 hours.
- Innovative fluorescent assay with no use of radioactivity, extraction, and chromatography.
- Direct measurement of LSD1 activity and not interfered by thiol-containing chemicals such as DTT, GSH and 2-mercaptoethanol.
- Both of cell/tissue extracts and purified LSD1 can be used, which allows to detect inhibitory effect of LSD1 inhibitor in vivo and in vitro.
- Strip microplate format makes the assay flexible: manual or high throughput analysis.
- Simple, reliable, and consistent assay conditions.
Principle & Procedure
The EpiQuik™ Histone Demethylase LSD1 Activity/Inhibition Assay Kit is designed for measuring cellular LSD1 activity/inhibition. In the assay with this kit, the unique di-methylated histone H3-K4 substrate is stably captured on the strip wells. Active LSD1 bind to and demethylate histone H3-K4 substrate. The remaining un-demethylated substrate can be recognized with high affinity anti-methylated histone H3-K4 antibody. The ratio or amount of the un-demethylated histone, which is inversely proportional to LSD1activity, can then be fluorimetrically quantified.
