| Description | MUF-diNAG (4-μU-(GlcNAc)2) is a fluorogenic substrate specifically designed for chitinases and chitobiosidases, which enzymatically cleave the molecule to release the fluorescent moiety 4-μU, MUF-diNAG exhibit pH-dependent excitation maxima at 320 and 360 nm and an emission maximum between 445 and 455 nm, thereby enabling sensitive and quantitative analysis of chitinolytic enzyme activity in biochemical and microbiological assays. |
| In vitro | MUF-diNAG functions as a fluorogenic substrate for chitinases, including human Chitotriosidase (CHIT1). The enzyme recognizes the N,N'-diacetylchitobiose moiety and cleaves the β-glycosidic bond between the sugar chain and the 4-MU group. While the intact substrate is non-fluorescent, hydrolysis releases free 4-Methylumbelliferone, which emits blue fluorescence at 450 nm when excited at 360 nm [2]. |
| In vivo | In models of Gaucher disease, the hydrolysis of MUF-diNAG in plasma serves as a biochemical marker for the total burden of lipid-laden macrophages. Furthermore, CHIT1 is secreted by activated macrophages during immune responses; thus, the substrate is employed to assess the severity of inflammation in conditions such as sarcoidosis, malaria, and fungal infections [1][2]. |
