Caspase

In Vitro Biotin-VAD-FMK is a synthetic peptide designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability.
In Vivo To examine whether caspase-2 is activated in the absence of proteolytic cleavage, an in vivo affinity labeling approach is used, using the biotinylated caspase inhibitor biotin-VAD-fmk that detects only active caspases[2].
