General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism ecdysone is inactivated to 3-dehydroecdysone under ecdysone oxidase, followed by NAD(P)H-dependent irreversible reduction to 3-epiecdysteroid under 3-dehydroecdysone 3alpha-reductase. On the other hand, 3-dehydroecdysone undergoes reversible reduction to ecdysone by 3-dehydroecdysone 3beta-reductase in the hemolymph Bombyx mori
