2-Naphthyl-β-D-galactopyranoside

(β-Naphthyl-β-galactoside; β-Nap-β-D-Gal)

Molecular Biology Grade

2-Naphthyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is a substrate for beta-galactosidase. 2-naphthol is released upon hydrolyzation. Bysimultaneous coupling with a suitable staining reagent, suc h as hexazonium p-rosaniline, the corresponding reddish-brown azo-dye is formed. Naphthols can also be detected by fluorescence analysis.
