Structural basis for juvenile hormone biosynthesis by the juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021 Juvenile hormone (JH) acid methyltransferase (JHAMT) is a rate-limiting enzyme that converts JH acids or inactive precursors of JHs to active JHs at the final step of JH biosynthesis in insects and thus presents an excellent target for the development of insect growth regulators or insecticides.

Kr-h1, a Cornerstone Gene in Insect Life History
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Insect life cycle is coordinated by hormones and their downstream effectors. Krüppel homolog1 (Kr-h1) is one of the crucial effectors which mediates the actions of the two critical hormones of insects, the juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone ...

Structure Determination of a Natural Juvenile Hormone Isolated from a Heteropteran Insect
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 Juvenile hormone (JH), which occurs in several forms in different insects, is one of the most important insect hormones. The structure of JH in Heteroptera has not been elucidated until recently, although insects in this suborder have long been used as ...
