MUG is a chemical commonly used for the detection of transformed plants. MUG shows low levels of fluorescence until treatment with glucuronidase (GUS) encoded in transformed plants. Transformed plants can be identified by their MUG fluorescence.
Application
Suitable for fluorescent detection of glucuronidase gene expression in plants.
Reconstitution
Product is soluble in molecular biology grade water at a concentration of 0.35 mg/ml.

An assay procedure to screen for Escherichia coli in foods by using 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucuronide (MUG) incorporated into lauryl tryptose (LST) broth was evaluated. The beta-glucuronidase produced by E. coli cleaves the MUG substrate to yield a fluorescent end product. E. coli-negative
The poor pharmacokinetics and selectivity of low-molecular-weight anticancer drugs contribute to the relatively low effectiveness of chemotherapy treatments. To improve the pharmacokinetics and selectivity of these treatments, the combination of a doxorubicin-glucuronide prodrug (DOX-propGA3) nanogel formulation and the liberation of
Curcumin prevents bone loss in resorptive bone diseases and inhibits osteoclast formation, a key process driving bone loss. Curcumin circulates as an inactive glucuronide that can be deconjugated in situ by bone's high β-glucuronidase (GUSB) content, forming the active aglycone.

The capacity for sustained cell division within the plant meristem is a critical determinant of organ structure and performance. This capacity is diminished in mutants lacking the microtubule-associated protein CLASP and when brassinosteroid signaling is increased. Here, we discovered that

The fortuitously discovered antiaging membrane protein αKlotho (Klotho) is highly expressed in the kidney, and deletion of the Klotho gene in mice causes a phenotype strikingly similar to that of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Klotho functions as a co-receptor for
