Cat. No.: HY-W039911 Purity: 98.53%
COA Handling Instructions

4-Nitrophenyl α-D-galactopyranoside (PNP-alpha-D-Gal) is an artificial substrate of 4-nitrophenyl (pNP) glycopyranoside for detecting α-galactosidase activity. The amount of released pNP is significantly increased when 4-Nitrophenyl α-D-galactopyranoside is used as substrates.

Description

4-Nitrophenyl α-D-galactopyranoside (PNP-alpha-D-Gal) is an artificial substrate of 4-nitrophenyl (pNP) glycopyranoside for detecting α-galactosidase activity. The amount of released pNP is significantly increased when 4-Nitrophenyl α-D-galactopyranoside is used as substrates[1].

In Vitro

Using 4-nitorophenol (pNP)-glycopyranosides as pseudosubstrates, the amount of liberated pNP from the 4-Nitrophenyl α-D-galactopyranoside is significantly higher than that from the other pNP-glycopyranosides at pH 4.0 whereas no activity was detected at pH 7.0[1].
The digestion assays using 4-nitrophenyl (pNP) glycopyranosides as artificial substrates shows that yieldin liberated galactose residues from 4-Nitrophenyl α-D-galactopyranoside mainly at pH 4.0, i.e. the pH level where yield threshold is decreased at most[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
