Product Data Sheet
4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucopyranoside
Catalog No. A75029
4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucopyranoside serves as a fluorogenic substrate specifically for β-glucosidase, facilitating the measurement of β-glucosidase activity in various biological assays. Upon enzymatic cleavage, it releases 4-methylumbelliferone, a highly fluorescent compound with an emission maximum between 445-454 nm. The excitation wavelength of 4-methylumbelliferone is influenced by pH, showing peaks at 330, 370, and 385 nm at pH 4.6, 7.4, and 10.4, respectively, making it a valuable tool for studying enzyme kinetics and related research applications.
