Product Information

• Name: beta-Naphthoflavone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Beta-Naphthoflavone is a synthetic polycyclic aromatic compound, which is a laboratory-created substance designed to mimic naturally occurring compounds. It is a model compound widely used in scientific research due to its ability to induce specific enzyme pathways. Beta-Naphthoflavone primarily affects the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway. Upon binding to this receptor, it modulates the expression of genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism, particularly influencing the cytochrome P450 enzymes. These enzymes play a crucial role in the metabolism of various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds.
