General description

X-Gal is a chromogenic substrate for β-galactosidase that produces a rich blue color that can easily be detected visually over background. It is soluble in dimethylformamide and methanol. The product is not soluble in water.

Application

X-Gal has been used for immunohistocytochemistry applications. It is also the substrate of choice for blue-white selection of recombinant bacterial colonies with the lac⁺ genotype.

Physical form

Crystals, white powder

Preparation Note

Working solution: Stock solution:

20 mg/ml in dimethyl formamide (DMF), clear, colorless solution

A defective HSV-1 vector expresses Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase in cultured peripheral neurons.

A I Geller et al.

Science (New York, N.Y.), 241(4873), 1667-1669 (1988-09-23)

A defective herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) vector, pHSVlac, has been developed that contains a transcription unit that places the Escherichia coli lacZ gene under the control of the HSV-1 immediate early 4/5 promoter. The vector pHSVlac was propagated with

New vector for efficient allelic replacement in naturally nontransformable, low-GC-content, gram-positive bacteria.

Maryvonne Arnaud et al.

Applied and environmental microbiology, 70(11), 6887-6891 (2004-11-06)

A shuttle vector designated pMAD was constructed for quickly generating gene inactivation mutants in naturally nontransformable gram-positive bacteria. This vector allows, on X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside) plates, a quick colorimetric blue-white discrimination of bacteria which have lost the plasmid, greatly facilitating clone

p63 is a prosurvival factor in the adult mammary gland during post-lactational involution, affecting PI-MECs and ErbB2 tumorigenesis.

A R Yallowitz et al.

Cell death and differentiation, 21(4), 645-654 (2014-01-21)

In embryogenesis, p63 is essential to develop mammary glands. In the adult mammary gland, p63 is highly expressed in the basal cell layer that comprises myoepithelial and interspersed stem/progenitor cells, and has limited expression in luminal epithelial cells. In adult
