Product Information
| Description: | 4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is a fluorescent substrate for α-glucosidase (GAA), which releases the fluorescent moiety 4-methylumbelliferyl (4-MU) upon cleavage. 4-MU has pH-dependent fluorescence excitation activity, with excitation wavelengths of 320 nm at low pH (1.97-6.72) and 360 nm at high pH (7.12-10.3), respectively. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
