Descriptions

Application

2-Naphthyl acetate has been used as a substrate:in substrate sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to examine the composition of lipases in larvae and adult specimensin the preparation of zymograms to identify proteins with lipase activityto measure non-specific esterase activity and ?-esterase enzyme activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Naphthyl acetate/?-naphthyl acetate (BNA) is an ester substrate. It can be used in staining gels to detect esterase activity. BNA dissolved in acetone and ethanol produces a dark and very light/no background respectively. Hence destaining is not necessary if ethanol is used to dissolve BNA for esterase staining of gels.
