Produktinformation

• Name: 4-Methylumbelliferyl propionate
• Synonyme: Propionic acid-4-methylumbelliferyl ester
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 4-Methylumbelliferyl propionate is a fluorogenic substrate for esterase. 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 propionateas a substrate for measuring the esterase activity is used for esterase deficiency screening assays.
