X-Gal is commonly used in molecular biology in regards to cloning applications. First synthesized in 1964, this organic compound contains galactose, which is also found in casein, yogurt, and milk, as well as certain dairy-free products.An analog of lactose, X-Gal is hydrolyzed by the β-galactosidase enzyme, resulting in 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-dichloro-indigo -- an insoluble blue precipitate. This indicates enzymatic activity. For example, X-Gal can be used in molecular biology to detect genetic activity in cells and tissues.CAS Number: 7240-90-6Molecular Weight: 408.61 DaChemical Formula: C14H15BrClNO6Solubility: Soluble 2% in DMFStorage Temperature: -20CResearch or further manufacturing use only, not for food or drug use.
