Background: Z-LE(OMe)HD(OMe)-FMK

Members of the caspase family play key roles in apoptosis and inflammation. Z-LE(OMe)HD(OMe)-FMK is a cellpermeable caspase peptide inhibitor that irreversibly binds to the catalytic site of caspases proteases, and inhibits caspase mediated apoptosis by preventing the processing of pro-caspases to their active forms (reviewed in 1-3). ZLEHD- FMK was first described is an irreversible and cell permeable inhibitor of Caspase 9. The Z-LE(OMe)HD(OMe)-FMK peptide is O-methylated in the P1 and P3 positions providing enhanced stability and increased cell permeability. Z-LE(OMe)HD(OMe)-FMK (Z-LEHD-FMK) is typically used in assays to inhibit apoptosis. Z-LEHD-FMK has been used in many different types of apoptosis assays and published using a number of model system. Users may want to consult the literature for additional information regarding applications for Z-LEHDFMK. Z-LEHD-FMK is recommended as a search term for identifying references in PubMed using this peptide inhibitor.

Protocols

View specific protocols for Z-LE(OMe)HD(OMe)-FMK (Caspase 9 Inhibitor) (NBP2-29398):

Product Handling - Assay Method (NBP2-29398):
Materials:
Dissolve 5 mg of Z-LEHD-FMK in DMSO to get appropriate concentration:
310 ul DMSO = 20 mM
620 ul DMSO = 10 mM
1240 ul DMSO = 5 mM

Method:
Add 2 ul of above stock solutions to 1 ml of culture medium containing cells to give final DMSO concentration of
0.2%. Levels of DMSO above this may cause some cellular toxicity thus masking the effect of the ICE-protease
inhibitors. 2 ul of 10 mM stock in 1 ml medium = 20 uM final Z-LEHD-FMK concentration.
