Caspase-4InhibitorZ-LEVD-FMK
詳情介紹:
Purpose | A caspase-4 inhibitor |
Sequence | Z-Leu-Glu(OMe)-Val-Asp(OMe)-FMK |
Characteristics |
PubChem CID: 44135220 A synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits activity of LEVD-dependent caspases (e.g., caspase-4). The inhibitor is designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability. The product can be used for both in vitro and in vivo studies. (CAUTION: If the intended use is on purified or recombinant enzymes, esterase should be added to generate free carboxyl groups). |
Purity | > 95?% by HPLC |
Chemical Name | Z-LEVD-FMK, Caspase-4 Inhibitor (fluoromethylketone) |
Formula | C??H??FN?O?? |
Permeability | Cell-permeable |
Solubility | DMSO |
Molecular Weight | 652.7 g/mol |
Application Notes | We recommend using 1000-5000X dilutions for inhibiting caspase-4 and related caspase activity (e.g., Add 1 μL to 1-5 mL of culture medium). However, the optimal doses may vary for different cells and culture conditions. The inhibitor is designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability. |
Restrictions | For Research Use only |
