α-Ecdysone (Cat No.: R028974) is a naturally occurring steroid hormone found in arthropods and insects, playing a crucial role in regulating molting and metamorphosis. It is involved in the regulation of gene expression and cell differentiation during development. α-Ecdysone is widely studied for its potential use in agriculture as a natural pesticide and in biotechnology for controlling insect populations. Its ability to modulate gene expression also holds promise for research in endocrinology and metabolic regulation, offering potential therapeutic applications.
