Fluorogenic Substrates

4-Methylumbelliferyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside (4-MU-a-D-Man) is a fluorogenic substrate used in activity assays for alpha-mannosidase.

It is also used to detect protein kinase activity in cells or tissue samples. 4MUG can be conjugated to an enzyme or antibody to produce a fluorescent signal when activated by light at 350 nm. The compound has been shown to be nonfluorescent when in the dark, but will emit fluorescence upon activation with light at 350 nm.

This Clips-O substrate 7-((4'-L-Alaninamido)-rac-3'-hydroxybutyloxy) coumarin allows the detection of single and dual enzymatic activity (L-alanine aminopetidase and oxidation of 4-amino-3-hydroxybutyloxy spacer either enzymatically or by exposure to sodium periodate) with a single substrate resulting in a fluorescent signal. The main virtues of Clips-O substrates are an increased stability towards non-enzymatic hydrolysis that results in a reduced background and high sensitivity.

Fluorogenic substrate for fucosidase

4-Methylumbelliferyl elaidate is a fluorogenic substrate for lipase. After enzymatic cleaveage, free 4-methylumbelliferone (also known as hymecromone) is released, exhibiting blue fluorescence upon excitation with UV light. The strongest fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone requires deprotonation of the hydroxyl group (thus requires alkaline pH), with a maximal fluorescence intensity obtained with excitation at 350 to 370 nm and emission at 440 to 470 nm. The use of 4-methylumbelliferyl elaidateas a substrate for measuring the lipase activity is used for assessment of lipase activity to identify pancreatitis.

5-Dodecanoylaminofluorescein di-b-D-galactopyranoside, commonly known as C12FDG, is a fluorogenic substrate for β-galactosidase. Fluorescein is released upon enzymatic cleavage by β-galactosidase. The intensity of its fluorescence is utilised to quantify β-galactosidase activity. C12FDG has been shown to be useful in identifying senescent cells that are associated with aging and cancer. It has also been used as a model system in some studies for studying disease activity, intracellular targets, and biological sample storage. It is also used to identify cancer tissues and radiation damage in the form of senescent cells. The chemical structure of 5DAFG is similar to that of the natural sugar galactose. 5DAFG binds to the plasma membrane of cells due to its lipophilic properties and then enters the cell through transport proteins on the cell surface called ATP binding cassette transporters.
