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. GSK-LSD1 inhibits LSD1 with an IC50 of 16 nM and is > 1000 fold selective over other closely related FAD utilizing enzymes (i.e. LSD2, MAO-A, MAO-B). GSK-LSD1 induces gene expression changes in cancer cell lines (average EC50 < 5 nM) and inhibits cancer cell line growth (average EC50 < 5 nM). Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a histone demethylase found in various transcriptional co-repressor complexes. LSD1 is involved in ES cell differentiation, hematopoiesis, and has been described as having a role in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). (http://www.thesgc.org/chemical-probes/GSK-LSD1)

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
