Product Data Sheet
N-butyryl-L-Homocysteine thiolactone
Catalog No. A92982
N-butyryl-L-Homocysteine thiolactone is an analog of N-butyryl-L-homoserine lactone, primarily targeting the quorum sensing regulatory system in bacteria. This compound plays a crucial role in controlling gene expression and cellular metabolism by influencing the synthesis of diffusible acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules. It has been demonstrated to induce violacein expression in Viola viola mutants, which typically do not produce AHL, thereby providing valuable insights for research into bacterial communication and infection control mechanisms. This reagent is useful in biochemical assays focusing on quorum sensing and gene expression modulation.
