General description

4-Methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (4-MUF-NAG) contains chitin monomer, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) and a 4-methylumbelliferone (7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin) (4-MUF) moiety.[1]

Application

4-Methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide has been used as a substrate for assaying
  • β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGase) from soil samples[2]
  • chitinase from Fusarium oxysporum using fluorimetric assay[3]
  • β-N-acetylhexosaminidases from Arabidopsis thaliana roots and leaves samples[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (4-MUF-NAG) is a synthetic fluorogenic substrate for N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase). The enzyme functionality is assessed by its ability to hydrolyze the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) residue in 4-MUF-NAG.[1] 4-MUF-NAG is also a substrate for Chitinase[5] and N-acetylhexosaminidase.[6]
