BL-Gal G2 CNP

Gal G2 CNP is a synthetic substrate used to detect the activity of enzymes that hydrolyze -glycosidic bonds, such as -galactosidase and lactose synthase. Gal G2 CNP is a colorless, water-soluble compound that is cleaved by -galactosidase enzymes to yield 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol. This product can be detected using a spectrophotometer to measure its absorbance at 405 nm, which allows quantification of -galactosidase activity. Gal G2 CNP has numerous applications in research and industry as a substrate for -galactosidase activity assays. It is frequently used in biochemistry to assess the expression and activity of -galactosidase enzymes in bacterial and mammalian cells. This enables the discovery of genes and proteins involved in the metabolism of lactose and other -galactoses compounds. In the food industry, Gal G2 CNP is used to determine the lactose content of dairy products. The ability to accurately measure lactose content is critical for the production of lactose-free and low-lactose products, which are beneficial to lactose intolerant individuals.
