CAS 106488-05-5: 4-methylumbelliferyl A-L-*rhamnopyranoside
Description:4-Methylumbelliferyl A-L-rhamnopyranoside is a synthetic glycoside commonly used as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of rhamnosidase enzymes. This compound features a 4-methylumbelliferone moiety, which is a fluorescent marker, linked to a rhamnopyranoside sugar unit. The presence of the rhamnose sugar enhances its specificity for certain enzymatic reactions, making it valuable in research and diagnostic applications. When cleaved by rhamnosidase, it releases the fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone, allowing for easy quantification and visualization of enzyme activity. The compound is typically soluble in water and organic solvents, facilitating its use in various experimental conditions. Its stability and reactivity under physiological conditions make it a useful tool in enzymology and carbohydrate chemistry. Additionally, due to its fluorescent properties, it is often employed in studies involving cell biology and molecular biology, where tracking enzyme activity is crucial.
