| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Methoprene Acid (53093-52-7) is an analog of insect juvenile hormone which acts as an insect growth regulator. Binds directly and selectively to the retinoid X receptor (RXR) acting as a transcriptional activator in both insect and mammalian cells with no activity at RAR.1?Negatively regulates thrombosis and hemostasis.2?Induces neurosteroid biosynthesis in human glial GI-1 cells.3?Increases the expression of the brown-fat-uncoupling-protein-1 gene (ucp-1).4 | [Uses]

ChEBI: 11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoic acid is a sesquiterpenoid. | [General Description]
Retinoic acid receptor (RXR) agonist used in gene regulation research. Analog of juvenile hormone, an insect growth hormone. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Demethylation, oxidative cleavage, hydrolysis, photodegradation and degradation of methoprene by microorganism results in methoprene acid and other metabolites. Methoprene acid is an insect growth regulator, and is known to control ecdysteroid signaling during development and metamorphism. It is thus used to control larval growth in insects such as mosquitoes, cigarette beetles, fleas and fire ants. | [References]
