Ecdysteroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone plays fundamental roles in in- sect postembryonic development and reproduction. Several cytochrome P450 mono- oxygenases (CYPs), encoded by the Halloween genes, have been docum...
Post-embryonic development of insects is highly dependent on ecdysteroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone. Halloween gene spookier (spok, cyp307a2) has been documented to be involved in ecdysteroidogenesis in Drosophila m...
