Caspase-8 Inhibitor (Z-IETD-FMK) [1mM]

Caspase Inhibitors, Caspase 8 Inhibitor, fluoromethyl ketone, FMK

General description

It is a synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits FLICE and related protease/Caspase-8, granzyme B activity, and blocks apoptosis. IETD is the specific recognition sequence found in CPP32 proenzyme. The inhibitor is designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability. (CAUTION: If the intended use is on purified or recombinant enzymes, esterase should be added to generate free carboxyl groups.)
