- Biotin-YVAD-CHO is a research tool used to detect and study the activity of caspase-1, a specific protease that plays a key role in the inflammatory response and apoptosis. It is a modified peptide that binds to and "labels" active caspase-1, which can then be isolated using streptavidin beads and analyzed, making it useful for studying cell death and inflammation pathways in research settings. The "Biotin" part allows for affinity capture, "YVAD" is the peptide sequence that targets caspase-1, and the "CHO" is an aldehyde group that covalently binds to the active site of the enzyme. Synonyms: Biotin-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-CHO CAS No: NA Molecular Formula: C₃₁H₄₄N₆O₉S₁ Molecular Weight: 676.78 Appearance: White to off-white powder Purity: As reported Storage and Stability: May be stored at RT for short-term only.
