3-carboxyumbelliferyl-beta-D-galacto-pyranoside

Description:
3-Carboxyumbelliferyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside, commonly referred to as CUG, is a synthetic glycoside that serves as a substrate for the enzyme β-galactosidase. This compound is characterized by its structure, which includes a galactopyranoside moiety linked to a carboxyumbelliferyl group. The presence of the carboxyumbelliferyl group imparts fluorescent properties, making it useful in biochemical assays for detecting β-galactosidase activity. Upon hydrolysis by the enzyme, it releases the fluorescent umbelliferone, which can be quantitatively measured, allowing for the assessment of enzyme activity. CUG is typically soluble in water and exhibits stability under standard laboratory conditions. Its applications extend to molecular biology and biochemistry, particularly in studies involving enzyme kinetics and cellular processes. Additionally, due to its fluorescent nature, it is often employed in various imaging techniques and assays, contributing to its utility in research and diagnostic applications.
