Description
  • Ligand of DAF-12, an orphan nuclear receptor, that regulates dauer diapause, reproductive development, fat metabolism, and life span (life cycle) in parasitic nematodes [1, 2, 3].
  • Sterol-derived hormone. 
  • Blocks formation of infective larvae in several parasitic nematodes [4, 5]. 
  • Inhibits the dauer-promoting activity of DAF-12 [4, 5].
  • Supports the reproductive development [4, 5].
