4-Methylumbelliferylbeta-D-galactopyranoside-6-sulfatesodiumsalt

Description:
4-Methylumbelliferyl beta-D-galactopyranoside-6-sulfate sodium salt, commonly referred to as MUGS, is a synthetic compound used primarily as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of beta-galactosidase activity. This compound features a methylumbelliferone moiety, which is a fluorescent marker, allowing for sensitive detection when hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The presence of the beta-D-galactopyranoside structure indicates that it can be cleaved by beta-galactosidase, releasing the fluorescent methylumbelliferone, which can be quantified. The sulfate group enhances the solubility of the compound in aqueous solutions, making it suitable for various laboratory applications. MUGS is often utilized in microbiological studies, enzyme assays, and as a reporter substrate in molecular biology. Its fluorescence properties make it a valuable tool for real-time monitoring of enzymatic reactions, contributing to its widespread use in research and diagnostic applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and disposal, as with any chemical substance.
