β-glucosidase (β-GC) Activity Assay Kit, 100T/48S

β-glucosidase (β-GC) is a key hydrolase enzyme that plays a pivotal role in numerous biological processes and industrial applications. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates, releasing glucose and corresponding aglycones—a reaction essential for nutrient metabolism, cellulose degradation, and the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds.

In the field of scientific research, β-GC has become a focal point for studies across multiple disciplines:
In plant biology, it is involved in the breakdown of cell wall components during growth, development, and stress responses, helping researchers understand plant adaptation mechanisms.
In microbial ecology, β-GC activity serves as a critical indicator of microbial community function, reflecting the ability of microorganisms to decompose complex carbohydrates in soil, aquatic environments, and industrial bioreactors.
In biotechnology, it is widely used in biofuel production (e.g., converting cellulose to fermentable sugars), food processing (e.g., enhancing flavor in wine and tea by releasing aromatic compounds), and pharmaceutical development (e.g., synthesizing glycosylated drugs with improved solubility and bioavailability).

Accurate and reliable measurement of β-GC activity is fundamental to advancing these research areas. Traditional assay methods often suffer from limitations such as low sensitivity, long reaction times, or interference from sample matrices. This β-glucosidase Activity Assay Kit is specifically designed to address these challenges, providing researchers with a robust tool to quantify β-GC activity efficiently and precisely in various sample types, including plant tissues, microbial cultures, soil extracts, and enzyme preparations.
