N-MYRISTOYL-DL-HOMOSERINE LACTONE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

N-Tetradecanoyl-DL-Homoserine Lactone is a homoserine lactone compound used in quorum sensing.

Definition

ChEBI: N-(2-Oxooxolan-3-yl)tetradecanamide is a N-acyl-amino acid.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Tetradecanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia and Salmonella are involved in quorum sensing, cell to cell communication among bacteria. Some AHLs are potent chemoattractants for human immune cells such as neutrophils.
