N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (Standard)

N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (Standard) is the analytical standard of N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (HY-133685) . This product is intended for research and analytical applications. N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a short-chained N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) . N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is also a mediator of bacterial quorum-sensing regulation. N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone promotes lipid accumulation in algae. AHL is an intercellular communication signal molecule in the quorum sensing system of Gram-negative bacteria and a medium for mediating information exchange between eukaryotic plants and prokaryotic bacteria. AHL can affect bacteria activities, such as biofilm formation, pigment synthesis, and antibiotic synthesis.
