Z-LEHD-FMK

Application: Functional Studies (Func), Cell Culture (CC)

Catalog no.: ABIN412084

Additional Information

Immunogen: Sequence: Z-Leu-Glu(OMe)-His-Asp(OME)-FMK

Description: A synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits activity of LEHD-dependent caspases (e.g., caspase-9). 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: 804.0

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. NOTE: For research purpose only! Not to be used in humans.

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
