DEF

Importante hormone stéroïde qui intervient dans le processus de la mue chez les insectes et les crustacés.

CONT

L'alpha-ecdysone est rapidement hydroxylée en C20 dans les tissus adipeux pour donner la β-ecdysone (HM, hormone de mue), beaucoup plus active que la forme alpha. Cette dernière doit être considérée plus comme un précurseur que l'hormone de mue elle-même.

OBS

alpha : Ce mot doit être remplacé par la lettre grecque correspondante ou être écrit en italique.

OBS

Formule chimique : C27H44O6.
