4-Methylumbelliferyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate used in N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase research. This compound helps assess enzyme functionality by its ability to remove terminal β-glycosidically bound N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine residues from the substrate. It is intended for research use only. For optimal preservation, solid material should be stored at 4°C, protected from light. In solvent, store at -80°C for 6 months or -20°C for 1 month, also protected from light.
