Application

Juvenile hormone III has been used to:study the effect of juvenile hormone on mictic (sexual) female production of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis Mullerstudy the effect of juvenile hormone on head GB19811 (putative Takeout/juvenile hormone binding protein) mRNA levels in adult honeybeesstudy the effect of juvenile hormone on gonadotropic and physiological functions in bumblebee Bombus terrestris

Controls the larval metamorphosis of insects, including the retention of juvenile characteristics.

JHBPs (JH-binding proteins) protect JH (juvenile hormone) from JH esterase- and epoxide hydrolase-mediated degradation. They also help in delivering JH to target tissues.
