Juvenile hormone III (JH III) is a hormone found in insects that is critical in regulating their development and behavior. It is structurally classified as a sesquiterpenoid, a class of organic compounds characterized by a long chain of carbon atoms and three isoprene units.
In adult insects, JH III plays a role in regulating reproductive behavior and fertility.
Juvenile hormone 3 is also used in agriculture as an insect growth regulator to control pests by disrupting their normal development and reproduction. It is available commercially as a pesticide under various trade names.
Juvenile Hormone III has the chemical formula C16H26O3, which indicates its unique arrangement of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules.
Juvenile Hormone III’s molecular weight of 266.38 g/mol is generally modest, influencing its behaviour in biological systems.
This hormone has a purity level of 95%, assuring its usefulness and dependability in experimental and research settings.
Juvenile Hormone III should be kept at -20°C or lower to ensure its stability and integrity throughout time and preserve its potency for future usage.
