Biological Activity
|
Caspase-2 |
Cotreatment of cells with the caspase inhibitors Ac-DEVD-CHO, Z-VDVAD-FMK (100 μM), Z-IETD-fmk, and Z-LEHD-fmk alone or in combination, or overexpression of CrmA, prevents many morphological features of apoptosis but not loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DCm), phospatidilserine exposure, and cell death[1].
Z-VDVAD-FMK (2 μM) greatly inhibits the Rho-kinase activity in HMEC-1 cells stimulated by Thrombin and displays no effect on control cells[2].
Z-VDVAD-FMK (zVDVAD-fmk) produces a reduction in Lovastatin-induced apoptosis. Z-VDVAD-FMK (100 μM) significantly reduces Lovastatin-induced loss of DNA by 19.1±8.3%[3].
