Abstract: Sesquiterpenoid methyl farnesoate (MF), a crustacean equivalent of insect juvenile hormone (JH III), has essential functions in regulating physiological processes in crustaceans, including reproduction and vitellogenesis. Farnesoic acid O-methyltransferase (FAMeT) is a key rate-limiting enzyme… read more here.

Abstract: Farnesoic acid O-methyltransferase (FAMeT) is a key enzyme involved in catalyzing the conversion of farnesoic acid (FA) to methylfarnesoate (MF) in the mandibular organ (MO) of crustaceans. In this study, a full-length cDNA encoding a… read more here.
