Amino Acid Sequence Z-Val-Ala-Asp-OMe-FMK Biochem/physiol Actions Non-methylated competitive and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-1, as well as other caspases, which can be used directly with purified enzymes. It does not require esterase to hydrolyze the O-methyl ester like the cell-permeable form, Z-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe) fluoromethyl ketone (Product Code V-116).
An irreversible general caspase inhibitor, non-methylated form.PROTECT FROM MOISTURE. Useful for studies involving recombinant, isolated, and purified caspase enzymes. Unlike Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK (Cat. No. FK009), this inhibitor does not require pretreatment with esterase for in vitro studies.
