Description

Application

4-Nitrophenyl β-D-glucuronide has been used for determining the β-glucuronidase activity in urine samples, β-glucuronidase activity of bacteria in caecum content digesta and bovine liver. It has also been used to study the inhibitory effect of Phyllanthus amarus extracts on β-glucuronidase.

Substrates

Chromogenic substrate for β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene detection.
