General description

MUG is a chemical commonly used for the detection of transformed plants. MUG shows low levels of fluorescence until treatment with glucuronidase (GUS) encoded in transformed plants. Transformed plants can be identified by their MUG fluorescence.

Application

Suitable for fluorescent detection of glucuronidase gene expression in plants.

Reconstitution

Product is soluble in molecular biology grade water at a concentration of 0.35 mg/ml.

An assay procedure to screen for Escherichia coli in foods by using 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucuronide (MUG) incorporated into lauryl tryptose (LST) broth was evaluated. The beta-glucuronidase produced by E. coli cleaves the MUG substrate to yield a fluorescent end product. E. coli-negative

Curcumin prevents bone loss in resorptive bone diseases and inhibits osteoclast formation, a key process driving bone loss. Curcumin circulates as an inactive glucuronide that can be deconjugated in situ by bone's high β-glucuronidase (GUSB) content, forming the active aglycone.
