| Targets |
2-Phenylethyl β-D-thiogalactoside specifically targets the enzyme β-galactosidase (β-Gal). As a substrate analogue, it is designed to interact with the active site of this enzyme, which cleaves the β-D-thiogalactoside bond, resulting in the release of the phenylethyl group. This enzymatic hydrolysis serves as a reporter system in molecular biology assays. The compound's utility is based on its ability to be recognized and cleaved by β-galactosidase, making it a valuable tool for studying enzyme activity, gene expression, and protein localization.

*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.
