GSK-LSD1

The Uses of GSK-LSD1

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.

The Uses of GSK-LSD1

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.

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.
