A molecular genetic approach to the biosynthesis of the insect steroid molting hormone.

Vitamins and hormones - 1 Jan 2005

Gilbert Lawrence I, Warren James T

Abstract excerpt

Insect growth, development, and molting depend upon a critical titer of the principal molting hormone of arthropods, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). Although the structure of 20E as a polyhydroxylated steroid was determined more than five decades ago, the exact steps in its biosynthesis have eluded identification. Over the past several years, the use of the fly database and the techniques and paradigms of biochemistry,...
