:Ac-VLPE-FMK
Description:
Ac-VLPE-FMK is a synthetic peptide compound known for its role as a selective inhibitor of certain cysteine proteases, particularly those involved in apoptosis and inflammation. The compound features a peptide backbone, which is typically composed of amino acids, and is modified with an acetyl group at one end and a fluoromethyl ketone (FMK) moiety, which is crucial for its mechanism of action. The fluoromethyl ketone group allows for irreversible binding to the active site of target proteases, thereby inhibiting their activity. This characteristic makes Ac-VLPE-FMK valuable in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to cell death pathways and protease function. The compound is often utilized in laboratory settings to explore the roles of specific proteases in various biological processes, including cancer progression and neurodegenerative diseases. As with many synthetic peptides, its stability, solubility, and bioavailability are important considerations for effective application in experimental protocols.
