Bio-Rad, ICT9145, Pyroptosis FAM Caspase-1

Pyroptosis FAM Caspase-1 Kit utilizes the popular FLICA technology to detect caspase-1 activation. This kit contain the caspase-1 inhibitor reagent YVAD-FMK, which has the preferred binding sequence for caspase-1, Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp (YVAD) ( Chapman, 1992 ). This preferred caspase-1 binding sequence is labeled with FAM a green fluorescent dye linked to a fluoromethyl ketone (FMK) reactive entity. Caspase-1 will not cleave the FLICA inhibitor probe; instead, it forms an irreversible covalent bond with the FMK group on the reagent and becomes inhibited from further enzymatic activity.
