Description
4-MU-beta-D-GlcNAc (4-Methylumbelliferyl-2- acetamido-2-deoxy- β- glucopyranoside) is used as a fluorogenic substrate for N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase), yielding a blue fluorescent solution.
NAGase is an enzyme abundantly found in the renal tubular epithelia. Increased amounts of this enzyme in urine is often associated with various renal diseases. Therefore, interest in measuring its activity using 4-Methylumbelliferyl-2- acetamido-2-deoxy- β- glucopyranoside in order to diagnose renal diseases has grown more popular.
