We provide customized and high-quality 4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-a-D-glucopyranoside product for your project.

4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-a-D-glucopyranoside, a frequently employed reagent in enzymatic assays measuring glucosidase activity, is characterized by its susceptibility to hydrolysis by both α- and β-glucosidases resulting in a yellow product, namely 4-nitrophenol, which can be identified using spectrophotometry. Its relevance, however, extends beyond mere enzymatic assays, as it also plays a fundamental role in the diagnosis of lysosomal storage diseases, namely those of Gaucher's and Pompe.
