MTOB sodium (Cat No.:I011962) is a small-molecule modulator known for its role as a substrate and inhibitor of enzymes involved in methionine metabolism, particularly targeting the lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A). By inhibiting LSD1, MTOB sodium can influence epigenetic regulation of gene expression, making it a valuable compound in cancer and stem cell research. It has been studied for its ability to induce differentiation and apoptosis in tumor cells. MTOB sodium is also used in metabolic and biochemical studies related to sulfur-containing amino acid pathways and redox balance.
