The EpiQuik™ Histone Demethylase LSD1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Core Kit is a convenient set of tools that allows the experimenter to to measure inhibition of LSD1. The kit is ready-to-use and provides all the essential components needed for screening LSD1 inhibitors, which are directly interacting with LSD1 or block the binding of LSD1 to its substrate.

WHY CHOOSE THE EPIQUIK™ HISTONE DEMETHYLASE LSD1 INHIBITOR SCREENING ASSAY CORE KIT?

• Fast procedure, which can be finished within 1 hour.
• Innovative fluorescent assay without need for radioactivity, extraction, and chromatography.
• Strip microplate format makes the assay flexible: manual or high throughput analysis.
• Simple, reliable, and consistent assay conditions.

The EpiQuik™ Histone Demethylase LSD1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Core Kit is designed for screening LSD1 demetylase inhibitors. In the assay with this kit, the unique di-methylated histone H3-K4 substrate is incubated with LSD1 in the strip wells. Active LSD1 binds to and demethylate histone H3-K4 substrate, producing hydrogen peroxide, which reacts with fluorogen 10-Acetyl-3,7-dihydroxy Phenoxazine and produces the highly fluorescent oxidation products. The intensity of fluorescence from oxidation products is proportional to LSD1 enzyme activity. Therefore, as LSD1 activity decreases by inhibition, the fluorescent signal decreases.

User Guide

* For maximum recovery of the products, centrifuge the original vial prior to opening the cap.

1. Why do I have low activity of LSD1?
It is likely due to improper storage.

2. What settings for the fluorescence reader should I use?
For kit P-3075A, settings for the fluorescence reader should be 530ex/590em.
