Description

Biotin-VAD-FMK is a cell permeable, irreversible biotin-labeled caspase inhibitor, used to identify active caspases in cell lysates.

IC50 & Target[1]

Caspase

 

In Vitro

Biotin-VAD-FMK is a synthetic peptide designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability.

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

To examine whether caspase-2 is activated in the absence of proteolytic cleavage, an in vivo affinity labeling approach is used, using the biotinylated caspase inhibitor biotin-VAD-fmk that detects only active caspases[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
