Description and Uses

4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside (4-MUG) is a fluorogenic substrate of β-glucosidase and β-glucocerebrosidase (also known as glucosylceramidase). In addition to its use in characterizing novel β-glucosidases, 4-MUG is used in assays to evaluate deficiency in β- glucocerebrosidase activity related to Gaucher disease. Hydrolysis of 4-MUG releases the fluorescent product 4-MU, which has an emission maximum at 445-454 nm. The excitation maximum for 4-MU is pH-dependent: 330, 370, and 385 nm at pH 4.6, 7.4, and 10.4, respectively.

4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-glucopyranoside has been used as substrate:

• in glucosylceramidase β enzyme activity assay in lysosome-enriched fractions from primary hippocampal neurons
• in β-glucosidase assay during yeast fermentation
• to assay glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA1)-related glucosidase activity in macrophage cell line (RAW)
