Does R&D Systems offer a negative control for Caspase Inihibitors with benzyloxycarbonyl group (Z-) at the N-terminus and the FMK functional group at the C-terminus?

Yes, R&D Systems offers Caspase Inhibitor Control Z-FA-FMK, Catalog # FMKC01, which is an inhibitor of cathepsins B and L but not caspases, and has been used in several systems as a negative control for peptide inhibitors of caspases.

Are R&D Systems Caspase Inhibitors irreversible?

Yes, the majority of R&D Systems Caspase Inhibitors have a Fluoromethyl ketone (FMK) functional group on the C-terminus of the peptide, and act as effective irreversible inhibitors with no added cytotoxic effects. Inhibitors synthesized with a benzyloxycarbonyl group (also known as BOC or Z) at the N-terminus and O-methyl side chains exhibit enhanced cellular permeability. R&D Systems also offers a General Caspase Inhibitor, Q-VD-OPh, Catalog # OPH001, as well as a FITC-conjugated pan-caspase inhibitor (ApoStat), Catalog # FMK012, which are both cell-permeable, irreversible inhibitors of caspase activity.

Background: Caspase-10

Caspase-10 (Cysteine-aspartic acid protease 10, FLICE2 and Mch4) is a 28-29 kDa member of the peptidase C14A family of enzymes. It is widely expressed in blood and epithelial cells. Caspase-10 appears to be an initiator caspase that acts on Pro-Caspases-3, -4, -6, -7, and -9. Cleavage of Pro-Caspase-1 generates a p43 subunit plus the small mature p12 subunit. Cleavage of p43 generates a prodomain p25 and large mature p17 subunit. P17 and p12 noncovalently associate to form a 29 kDa mature heterodimer.
