Ecdysone is a [clarification needed] prohormone of the major insect molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, secreted from the prothoracic glands. It is of steroidal structure. Insect …

2019年11月19日 · Ecdysone is a key developmental regulator in holometabolous insects that triggers the degradation and remodeling of larval tissues during metamorphosis. Ecdysone …

Ecdysone is a steroid hormone in insects that is derived from cholesterol and plays a crucial role in mediating developmental transitions, particularly during metamorphosis, by regulating the …

Ecdysone is a 6-oxo steroid that is 5beta-cholest-7-en-6-one substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 2, 3, 14, 22 and 25 respectively (the 2beta, 3beta, 22R stereoisomer). It is a steroid …

Ecdysteroids are arthropod steroid hormones that are mainly responsible for molting (ecdysis), development and, to a lesser extent, reproduction; [1][2][3][4] examples of ecdysteroids …

The steroid hormone ecdysone is the central regulator of insect developmental transitions. Recent new advances in our understanding of ecdysone action have relied heavily on the application …

Ecdysone is the steroidal prohormone of the major insect moulting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone. It groups with its homologues the steroidal molting hormones in arthropods, but they also …

In this review we discuss the molecular machinery and mechanisms of ecdysone-dependent cell and tissue removal, with a focus on studies in Drosophila and Lepidopteran insects. The …

2022年1月4日 · Ecdysteroids are polyhydroxylated sterols, functioning as molting and metamorphosis hormones of insects, crustaceans, fungi, and nematodes. Currently, these …

2023年8月16日 · Ecdysone, also known as molting hormone or ecdysteroid, is a steroidal hormone predominantly found in insects. Its discovery dates back to the 1940s when …
