Human paraoxonase (PON1) was previously shown to hydrolyze over 30 different lactones (cyclic esters). In the present study purified human PON1 was found to catalyze the reverse reaction (lactonization) of a broad range of hydroxy acids. Hydroxy acid lactonization or

The paraoxonase (PON) gene family in humans has three members, PON1, PON2, and PON3. Their physiological role(s) and natural substrates are uncertain. We developed a baculovirus-mediated expression system, suitable for all three human PONs, and optimized procedures for their purification.

Paraoxonase1 (PON1) is a HDL bound enzyme and many of the anti-atherogenic properties of HDL are attributed to PON1. The enzyme precise mechanism of protective action and its endogenous substrate remain elusive. PON1 hydrolyzes organophosphates, arylesters and lactones, whereas the
