Biological Activity

N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a small-molecule signaling mediator of bacterial quorum sensing produced by a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria. It binds to LuxR-type transcriptional regulator proteins to drive cell-density-dependent gene expression and bacterial cell-cell communication. Downstream activation of these regulatory pathways modulates critical physiological phenotypes, including biofilm formation, bioluminescence generation, and the expression of diverse virulence factors.
