CAS 117153-55-6: 4-(trifluoromethyl)umbelliferyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside

Description: 4-(Trifluoromethyl)umbelliferyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is a chemical compound that serves as a substrate for the enzyme β-galactosidase, commonly used in biochemical assays to detect enzyme activity. This compound features a galactopyranoside moiety linked to a 4-(trifluoromethyl)umbelliferyl group, which enhances its fluorescent properties upon hydrolysis. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to the compound's lipophilicity and stability, making it suitable for various applications in molecular biology and biochemistry. Upon enzymatic cleavage by β-galactosidase, it releases a fluorescent product, allowing for sensitive detection and quantification. The compound is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies involving enzyme kinetics and cellular assays. Its unique structural characteristics, including the presence of the trifluoromethyl group and the umbelliferone derivative, make it a valuable tool in the study of glycosidase activity and related biochemical pathways. Safety data and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper laboratory practices.
