General description

4-Methylumbelliferyl α-D-glucopyranoside is the fluorogenic substrate of alpha-glucosidase enzyme. 4-Methylumbelliferyl α-D-glucopyranoside, also known as 4MU- α-glc, upon reaction leads to the product 4MU, which emits at the peak of 440nm in the fluorescence spectra.

Application

4-Methylumbelliferyl α-D-glucopyranoside is used as a flurogenic substrate for the identification, characterization and kinetic analysis of α-D-glucosidase(s).4-Methylumbelliferyl α-D-glucopyranoside is used for high throughput screening experiments. It is suitable for the diagnosis of Pompe′s disease in kidney and leucocytes.
