Littorine

Description:
Littorine is a natural product that belongs to the class of trifluoroacetic acid. It is biosynthesized by plants and has been found in human serum as well as plant fatty acids. Littorine has been shown to regulate gene expression, specifically in the transcriptional regulation of genes encoding for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). This plant-derived compound has also been shown to have pharmaceutical applications, including pharmaceutical preparations. Littorine inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids in cells by blocking the activity of enzymes that catalyze reactions in fatty acid metabolism, such as fatty acid synthase. Littorine also has an effect on gene expression, which may be due to its activation of transcription factors that bind to promoters and regulate gene expression.
