Diethylumbelliferyl phosphate (CAS 897-83-6)
QUICK LINKS
Diethylumbelliferyl phosphate is a compound used in biochemistry research as a fluorogenic probe for studying enzyme activity. It serves as a substrate for phosphatases, enzymes that remove phosphate groups from molecules, which plays a critical role in various biological processes including signal transduction and energy metabolism. Upon hydrolysis by specific phosphatases, diethylumbelliferyl phosphate releases a highly fluorescent product that can be easily detected using fluorescence spectroscopy. This property makes it useful for monitoring enzyme kinetics and for identifying phosphatase inhibitors. Additionally, it is utilized in the investigation of phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycles and their regulation within cells. Due to its sensitivity and specificity, diethylumbelliferyl phosphate is also employed in high-throughput screening assays to discover compounds that modulate phosphatase activity, which is relevant to a wide range of biochemical research applications.
