QUICK LINKS
5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl α-D-mannopyranoside is a substrate to detect the activity of α-mannosidase enzymes. When added to a reaction mixture, 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl α-D-mannopyranoside is hydrolyzed by α-mannosidase, resulting in the release of a blue dye. This allows for the visualization and quantification of α-mannosidase activity in various biological samples. The mechanism of action involves the cleavage of the glycosidic bond between the indolyl moiety and the mannose residue by the α-mannosidase enzyme. This results in the formation of a blue-colored product, which can be easily detected and measured using spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods. 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl α-D-mannopyranoside ′s function as a substrate for α-mannosidase may be useful in studying the role of this enzyme in various biological processes.
