Description:a-Ecdysone is a steroidal hormone, which is naturally found in various arthropods and some plant species. It is synthesized from cholesterol and is a key regulator in the molting and metamorphosis processes in insects. The mode of action involves binding to the ecdysone receptor, a type of nuclear receptor, which then forms a complex with another protein complex to regulate the expression of specific target genes. This binding and gene regulation are crucial for initiating and controlling series of developmental processes.
In scientific research, a-Ecdysone is commonly used as a tool in cell biology and genetics to study gene expression, signal transduction, and cellular differentiation. Its function as an ecdysteroid makes it integral in model systems for examining hormone-controlled gene regulatory networks. This product facilitates controlled gene expression in heterologous systems, making it a valuable component in various experimental protocols aimed at understanding complex biological phenomena.
