General description

4-Nitrocatechol sulfate is an aromatic sulfate.

Application

4-Nitrocatechol sulfate dipotassium salt has been used as a substrate in mucopolysaccharidoses VI (MPS VI) analysis. It has also been used to measure the activity of glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-degrading enzymes-arylsulfatase B, and exoglycosidases.

Substrates

Chromogenic sulfatase substrate.

Arylsulfatase A hydrolyzes the artificial chromogenic substrate 4-nitrocatechol-sulfate at 0 degree C at a rate of 24% of that at 37 degrees C whereas arylsulfatase B is almost inactive at 0 degree C. Based on this observation, a simple assay
