    Product Description

    Biotin-VAD-FMK is a biotin-conjugated form of the cell-permeable caspase inhibitor Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK (Item No. 14463).1 It is an affinity probe that allows for detection and immobilization of caspases using the biotin ligand. Biotin-VAD-FMK inhibits caspase-3-like activity in a dose-dependent manner in hepatocytes stimulated with TNF-α and ActD. It also binds to caspase-3 and caspase-8 in hepatocyte lysates, an effect that can be blocked by the caspase inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO (Item No. 10017).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
