AC-YVAD-CMK（Cat No.:M045409）is a synthetic peptide inhibitor used in research to study caspase-1 activity. It consists of the sequence YVAD, a specific recognition site for caspase-1, and is conjugated to a fluoromethylketone (CMK), which covalently binds to the active site of the enzyme, inhibiting its function. Caspase-1 is crucial in the inflammatory response and the activation of the inflammasome. AC-YVAD-CMK is commonly used to explore its role in inflammation, pyroptosis, and immune responses, as well as to evaluate potential therapies targeting caspase-1 in diseases like autoinflammatory disorders.
