4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-lactopyranoside (CAS 84325-23-5)
QUICK LINKS
4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-lactopyranoside, also known as 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-lactoside (4-MUL), is a colorless, crystalline solid soluble in both water and organic solvents. It′s a glycosidic derivative of D-glucose, a naturally occurring monosaccharide, and is frequently used as a substrate in research related to glycosidases. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, and 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-lactopyranoside aids in understanding their function under various conditions and in the presence of different substances. Furthermore, it plays a role in exploring the structure-function relationship of glycosidases. Though the exact mechanism of action of 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-lactopyranoside remains to be fully deciphered, it is thought to undergo hydrolysis by glycosidases in a two-stage process. Initially, 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-lactopyranoside is converted to 4-methylumbelliferyl-alpha-D-glucoside (4-MUG) by a glycosidase. In the subsequent step, 4-MUG is further hydrolyzed to form 4-methylumbelliferone and D-glucose.
