The Uses of Hydroxyecdysone
20-Hydroxyecdysone has been used:
- in Leibovitz′s dissecting medium for culturing sorting zone and neuropil-associated glia and antennal lobes of Manduca sexta
- in Schneider′s medium to reproduce ex-vivo imaginal disc eversion
- as a supplement in Mcl8 medium for culturing Drosophila wing imaginal discs
What are the applications of Application
20-Hydroxyecdysone is a ecdysteroid in both plant and animal species that controls cell death
Definition
ChEBI: 20-hydroxyecdysone is an ecdysteroid that is ecdysone substituted by a hydroxy group at position 20. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an animal metabolite. It is a 20-hydroxy steroid, an ecdysteroid, a 14alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 3beta-sterol, a 2beta-hydroxy steroid, a 22-hydroxy steroid, a 25-hydroxy steroid and a phytoecdysteroid. It is functionally related to an ecdysone.
Biochem/physiol Actions
20-Hydroxyecdysone is an ecdysteroid hormone that plays a key role in insect development, cell proliferaton, growth and apoptosis by controlling gene expression involved in molting and metamorphosis. It acts through a heterodimeric receptor comprising the ecdysone receptor and the ultraspiracle proteins (USP).
