The Biocompare Inhibitor Search Tool lets researchers browse thousands of compounds by searching by inhibitor name or by its target enzyme. Simply search by “Keywords” if you know the name of the inhibitor, or search by “Inhibitor Target” to enter the name of your protein of interest. Additionally, you may check the appropriate boxes to narrow down your search.
Caspase-6 is a cysteine protease that plays a role in apoptosis and acts as a direct activator for caspase-8. It is thought to play a role in chromatin condensation and is thought to play a role in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Historically, it has been difficult to pinpoint a specific inhibitor for caspase-6, but several are currently available, including both peptide and small-molecule inhibitors.
