<p>Bioluminescent substrate for luciferase</p>

<p>4-Methylumbelliferyl alpha-D-glucosaminide is a fluorogenic substrate for alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase. After enzymatic cleaveage, free 4-methylumbelliferone (also known as hymecromone) is released, exhibiting blue fluorescence upon excitation with UV light. The strongest fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone requires deprotonation of the hydroxyl group (thus requires alkaline pH), with a maximal fluorescence intensity obtained with excitation at 350 to 370 nm and emission at 440 to 470 nm. The use of 4-methylumbelliferyl alpha-D-glucosaminideas a substrate for measuring the alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity is used for Sanfilippo syndrome B and Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB (MPS IIIB) diagnosis.</p>

<p>PAIRED PRODUCT AVAILABLE: alpha-L-iduronidase Enzyme, FI1793834MU-alpha-L-iduronide-2-sulphate (M2) is a fluorogenic substrate of iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS), used in a 2-step assay coupled with alpha-L-iduronidase. The assay is used in biochemical testing for Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II / MPS II). In a first step, IDS from biological samples cleaves the sulphate group from M2. In a second step, exogeneous alpha-L-iduronidase which cleaves the 4-MU moiety is added to the reaction, resulting in release of a fluorescent signal (Ex 360 nm / Em 455 nm). The reaction is stopped by the addition of sodium carbonate.</p>
