| Targets |
4-Nitrophenyl β-D-glucuronide targets β-glucuronidase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes glucuronides. The compound serves as a substrate for β-glucuronidase, and upon enzymatic cleavage, p-nitrophenol is released. The amount of p-nitrophenol released is proportional to β-glucuronidase activity. The compound is used as a chromogenic substrate for the detection and quantification of β-glucuronidase activity.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
