Description
Boc-D-FMK | 27611-1 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Apoptosis Inhibitor
Application: N/A
Background: Boc-D-FMK is a cell-permeable broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor that fully inhibits the pro-apoptotic effect of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) with IC50 value of 39 µM. Boc-D-FMK has been found to reduce the activation of nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), suppress the phosphorylation of subunit nuclear factor kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells inhibitor α (IkBα) and inhibits TNF-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1). Moreover, Boc-D-FMK has also effectively attenuated the hepatocyte apoptosis in bile duct-ligated rats potentially improving the survival rates.
Description: A synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits activity of caspase family proteases and blocks apoptosis. The inhibitor is designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability. Can be used for both in vitro and in vivo studies--see note for using this product in vitro.
Product Type: Inhibitor
