Description

4-Butoxyphenyl)acetamide is a synthetically produced chemoattractant that is used in vitro to study the migration of cells. It is soluble in non-polar solvents and can be expressed from many organisms, including bacteria and plants. 4-Butoxyphenyl)acetamide has been shown to induce cell movement by binding to the G protein coupled receptor that stimulates the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores. This molecule also has photophysical properties, which have been studied in rat liver microsomes and hydrochloric acid, hydroxamic acids, and spermatozoa. 4-Butoxyphenyl)acetamide can be absorbed from the intestine into plasma, where it binds to odorant receptors on sensory neurons in the nose. These receptors are also found in plant physiology, where they are responsible for detecting chemicals that attract pollinators such as bees or insects.
