Characterization of Farnesoic Acid O-Methyltransferase (FAMeT) and Juvenile Hormone Acid Methyltransferase (JHAMT) in relation to Drosophila melanogaster Juvenile Hormone Biosynthesis

Characterization of Farnesoic Acid O-Methyltransferase (FAMeT) and Juvenile Hormone Acid Methyltransferase (JHAMT) in relation to Drosophila melanogaster Juvenile Hormone Biosynthesis

Juvenile hormones (JHs) are key regulators of both metamorphosis and adult reproductive processes. The role of two key enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of JH were examined: Farnesoic Acid O-Methyltransferase (FAMeT) and Juvenile Hormone Acid Methyltransferase (JHAMT). In crustaceans, FAMeT has b...
