Applications
X-gluc for β-Glucuronidase Detection
5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-Glucuronide Cyclohexylammonium Salt (X-gluc) is commonly used as a chromogenic substrate for β-glucuronidase.
Under appropriate assay conditions, β-glucuronidase hydrolyzes X-gluc, resulting in the formation of a colored product. This allows β-glucuronidase activity to be detected visually in suitable biological and biochemical systems.
X-gluc for GUS Reporter Assays
X-gluc is widely used in research involving the GUS reporter system.
Because β-glucuronidase activity can generate a visible color reaction with X-gluc, the substrate is useful for studying gene expression and other molecular biology applications involving GUS-based detection.
