γ-Hexalactone(Cat No.:I017912) is a naturally occurring gamma-lactone commonly found in ripe fruits. It has been reported to induce DNA damage, potentially affecting cellular processes and genetic stability. Additionally, γ-Hexalactone acts as a substrate for paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an enzyme involved in detoxification processes. The interaction with PON1 suggests a potential role in the metabolism and clearance of xenobiotics.
