4-MUG for β-Glucuronidase Assays
4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucuronide (4-MUG) is commonly used as a fluorogenic substrate for β-glucuronidase.
Under appropriate assay conditions, β-glucuronidase hydrolyzes 4-MUG and releases 4-methylumbelliferone, a fluorescent product that can be detected using suitable fluorescence measurement equipment.
This makes 4-MUG useful for sensitive determination of β-glucuronidase activity.
4-MUG for Fluorescence-Based Detection
Compared with visual chromogenic substrates, fluorogenic substrates such as 4-MUG are particularly useful when sensitive instrumental detection is required.
The fluorescence generated following enzymatic hydrolysis can be measured quantitatively, making 4-MUG suitable for enzyme activity studies, biochemical assays and GUS-related research applications.
