4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucopyranoside is a fluorogenic β-D-glucoside substrate used to measure β-glucosidase activity. Enzymatic cleavage releases 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU), a highly fluorescent reporter (emission 445-454 nm); excitation maxima are pH-dependent (330, 370, 385 nm at pH 4.6, 7.4, 10.4). The product is supplied as a solid and as a 10 mM solution in DMSO for convenient assay setup.
