D-Xylose 2,3,4,5-tetraacetate  (Synonyms: Xylose tetraacetate)

D-Xylose 2,3,4,5-tetraacetate (Xylose tetraacetate) is a synthetic, fully acetylated xylose derivative. D-Xylose 2,3,4,5-tetraacetate serves as a substrate substitute for acetyl xylan esterase (AXE) to detect the enzyme's hydrolytic activity toward acetyl ester bonds^[1].

D-Xylose 2,3,4,5-tetraacetate (10 min) serves as a substrate for recombinant acetylxylan esterase, with a K_m value of 8.6 mM and a V_max value of 550 mmol/min/mg^[1].
