Product Information
Name:Hexyl butyrate
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Hexyl butyrate is a model system for fatty acid synthesis. Hexyl butyrate is the major product of hexanoic acid, which is synthesized by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Hexyl butyrate has been shown to inhibit the activity of several enzymes that are involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and may be used as an antimicrobial agent. The structural similarity between hexyl butyrate and hexanoic acid allows them to bind to the same receptors on cells, which may account for their antimicrobial effects.
