1-NAPHTHYL BUTYRATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear yellow liquid

Uses

1-Naphthyl butyrate has been used as a substrate for esterase activity in sheep body louse Bovicola ovis and in chromogenic staining of flounder fish samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-Naphthyl butyrate also called α-naphthyl butyrate is a substrate for esterase enzyme. α-naphthyl butyrate aids in assessing α-naphthyl butyrate esterase activity in monocytes and lymphocytes.
