Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays due to its strong emission properties under UV light. Commonly employed in studying enzyme activity, particularly in glycosidase detection, where it acts as a substrate analog. The compound’s glycosidic bond is cleaved by specific enzymes, releasing a detectable fluorescent signal. Also utilized in cell imaging for tracking glycoconjugate metabolism in live cells. Its stability and low toxicity make it suitable for in vitro and in vivo applications.
