Source Tissue

Source Tissue Comment Organism Textmining
corpus allatum CYP15A1 transcripts are detected only in the corpora allata of day 5-mated females. Highest CYP15A1 transcript levels are observed on days 3–6, at the time of maximal biosynthetic activity of the glands, whereas the message is barely detectable on days 10, 15, and 20, after oviposition and during pregnancy, when juvenile hormone synthesis is low Diploptera punctata

methyl (2E,6E)-farnesoate + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 the enzyme is specific for methyl (2E,6E)-farnesoate i.e. (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecatrienoate. The enzyme produces juvenile hormone III with a ratio of 98:2 in favor of the natural (10R)-epoxide enantiomer. No activity with methyl (2Z,6Z)-farnesoate, methyl (2Z,6E)-farnesoate Diploptera punctata juvenile hormone III + [oxidized NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + H2O juvenile hormone III i.e. methyl (2E,6E,10R,11S)-10,11-epoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6-dienoate ?
methyl (2E,6E)-farnesoate + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 epoxidation is 12% compared to epoxidation of methyl (2E,6E)-farnesoate Diploptera punctata ?
