Features

X-Gluc is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C₁₄H₁₃BrClNO₇.

X-Gluc is a chromogenic substrate for beta-glucuronidase (GUS) which is encoded by the gusA (uid A) gene, a widely used reporter gene.

Applications

X-Gluc, is a chromogenic substrate used in a variety of applications for the detection of the X-glucuronidase enzyme.

X-Gluc has applications in the detection of E. Coli.

X-Gluc is used to identify contaminated food samples such as meat, dairy, and shellfish products.

X-Gluc also has clinical applications in the assessment of urinary tract infection by detecting the presence of E. coli.

It is widely used in molecular biology experiments to mark and select the expression of target genes (GUS reporter system)
