CAS 16934-09-1: 5-Bromo-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside

Description:5-Bromo-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, commonly referred to as X-Gluc, is a synthetic compound widely used as a substrate for the enzyme β-glucuronidase in molecular biology and histochemistry. This compound is characterized by its indole structure, which is a bicyclic compound consisting of a benzene ring fused to a pyrrole ring, and a glucopyranoside moiety that enhances its solubility in biological systems. The presence of the bromine atom at the 5-position of the indole ring contributes to its unique reactivity and makes it a useful tool for detecting β-glucuronidase activity in various biological samples. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, X-Gluc produces a blue precipitate, allowing for visual identification of enzyme activity. This compound is often utilized in plant biology, particularly in studies involving gene expression and reporter assays. Its stability and specificity make it a valuable reagent in both research and diagnostic applications. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with all chemical substances.
