| Targets |
N-(3-Oxohexanoyl)-3-aminodihydro-2(3H)-furanone targets the quorum sensing (QS) system in bacteria, particularly in Vibrio fischeri. It acts as a quorum sensing autoinducer. As an N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL), it binds to and activates LuxR-type transcription factors, which regulate the expression of genes involved in bioluminescence, virulence, and biofilm formation. This compound is a key signaling molecule in bacterial cell-cell communication.
