4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside

SKU: orb1303790

Description

4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (4-MU-Gluc) is a fluorogenic substrate for assaying β-glucosidase (GCase) activity. Its enzymatic hydrolysis releases fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU), enabling sensitive quantification in both in vitro enzyme kinetics and cellular research models for lysosomal storage disorders like Gaucher disease.
