Catalog no.: ABIN412072

Additional Information

Immunogen: Sequence: Z-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp(OME)-FMK

Description: A synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits activity of caspase-1. 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.

Molecular Weight: 630.0

Application Details

Application Notes: We recommend using 2-10 μ M for inhibiting caspase activity in cell culture. The optimal doses may vary for different cells and culture conditions.

Purity: One spot by TLC

Buffer: 1 mg (or 5 mg) lyophilized powder

Storage: Reconstitution: Reconstitute in DMSO (20 mM)

Restrictions: For Research Use only
