| Application: | 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 |
| 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). |
