ecdysone , auch: ecdyson

If a man found he had prostate cancer, he would take an ecdysone pill.

In many of them it is initiated by an increase in the hormone ecdysone.

Its counterpart in insects is ecdysone.

In insects it is a precursor for the hormone ecdysone, required for reaching adulthood.

Injections of ecdysone brought insects through growth and development at a breakneck pace, resulting in premature death.

It is an agonist of ecdysone that causes premature molting in larvae.

The shadow gene (Cyp315a1) product produces ecdysone from 2-deoxyecdysone.

Moulting of the skin (ecdysis) takes place regularly, sometimes every 14 days, induced by the hormone ecdysone.

Insect molting hormones (ecdysone and its homologues) are generally called ecdysteroids.

The physiological substrate ecdysone 22-phosphate was modeled in a hydrophobic cavity close to the phosphate-binding site.

In arthropods, 20-hydroxyecdysone acts through the ecdysone receptor.

These hormone producing tissues express the ecdysone receptor throughout development, possibility indicating a functional feedback mechanism.

Indeed, the main receptor of these hormone signals - the ecdysone receptor - is an intracellular protein.

Metamorphosis is triggered by ecdysone, and during this period, extensive pruning and reorganization of the neural network occurs.

There is a complex interaction between JH, the hormone ecdysone and vitellogenin.

With lower amounts of JH, ecdysone promotes pupation.

In the presence of pon A the ecdysone receptor recruits coactivators that lead to elevated expression.

If each pu is a single gene, as most geneticists think, then ecdysone unleashes an avalanche altering the activities of genes.

Ecdysone is then synthesized into chitin, the main component of the cuticle, or shell, of insects and other arthropods.

Therefore it is theorized that pruning in Drosophilia are triggered by the activation of ecdysone receptors.

The ecdysone receptor is a nuclear receptor found in arthropods, where it controls development and contributes to other processes such as reproduction.

This gland apparently produces a hormone named ecdysone (ek'dih-sohn), which is stored in a small organ near the heart.

They have an ectodermal origin and secrete ecdysteroids, such as ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone.
