• Descripción: 4-Methylumbelliferyl 2-acetamido-3-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate for alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. 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 2-acetamido-3-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranosideas a substrate for measuring the alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity is used for Fabry disease diagnosis and Schindler disease screening.
