Description

General description

5-Bromoindoxyl acetate is a halogenated heterocyclic compound. It is widely used as esterase substrate.

Application

5-Bromoindoxyl acetate may be used:

as esterase substrate to investigate the activity of non-specific esterase in the matrix of developing bovine enamel
in histochemical studies of the nonspecific esterase of mouse epididymis
as substrate to investigate the esterase activity in guinea-pig thyroid and mouse epididymis epithelial cells
in staining procedure for the frozen sections of muscle fixed in buffered formaldehyde

5-Bromoindoxyl acetate may be used as substrate for the assay of insect esterases by employing DEAE (Diethylaminoethyl)-cellulose columns.

Nonspecific esterase of mouse epididymis has previously been studied histochemically, using alpha naphthyl-acetate and 5-bromoindoxyl acetate techniques, as well as certain inhibitors. Epithelial cell types of the epididymis have been characterized, and certain esterase isozymes in a particular cell type
