Product Description: N-3-Oxo-hexadecanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone is a signaling molecule to coordinate group behaviors at high densities in many bacteria. N-3-Oxo-hexadecanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone adsorbs to and promotes the remodeling of lipid membranes in ways that could underpin cell-cell or host-cell interactions[1].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
Formula: C20H35NO4
