General description

A cell-permeable, reversible inhibitor of caspase-1-like proteases. Constructed by attaching the N-terminal sequence (amino acids 1-16) of the Kaposi fibroblast growth factor signaling peptide to Caspase Inhibitor II (Cat. No. 218735), which imparts cell-permeability to this peptide.
A cell-permeable, reversible pan-caspase inhibitor produced by attaching the N-terminal sequence (amino acids 1-16) of the Kaposi fibroblast growth factor signaling peptide, which imparts cell-permeability to VAD peptide.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: yes
Primary Target
caspase-1-like proteases
