Product Information

• Name: S-Methyl thiohexanoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: S-Methyl thiohexanoate is a fatty acid that is the product of the serine protease activity of the potato tuber. It has been shown to have a transcriptional regulatory effect on carbon source utilization and natural compounds production, which may be due to its ability to alter the phospholipid composition in plant cells. S-Methyl thiohexanoate can inhibit or induce natural compounds production depending on the concentration used. The effects of this compound are mediated by its ability to form hydrogen bonds with hydroxyl groups in phospholipids, altering their configuration and consequently disrupting membrane integrity. S-Methyl thiohexanoate also has been shown to act as an electron donor for covalent polymerization reactions catalyzed by DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases. This may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with phosphate groups in nucleic acids, altering their configuration and consequently disrupting DNA or RNA synthesis.
