Glossary: | juvenile hormone III = methyl (2E,6E,10R)-10,11-epoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6-dienoate | ||||||||
Other name(s): | CYP15A1 | ||||||||
Systematic name: | methyl (2E,6E)-farnesoate,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase | ||||||||
Comments: | A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein. The enzyme, found in insects except for Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) is specific for methyl farnesoate (cf. EC 1.14.14.128, farnesoate epoxidase) [1,2]. | ||||||||

EC | 2.1.1.325 | ||||||||
Accepted name: | juvenile hormone-III synthase | ||||||||
Reaction: | (1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + (2E,6E)-farnesoate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + methyl (2E,6E)-farnesoate (2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + juvenile hormone III acid = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + juvenile hormone III |
||||||||
Glossary: | juvenile hormone III = methyl (2E,6E,10R)-10,11-epoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6-dienoate juvenile hormone III acid = (2E,6E,10R)-10,11-epoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6-dienoate |
||||||||
Other name(s): | farnesoic acid methyltransferase; juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase; JHAMT | ||||||||
Systematic name: | S-adenosyl-L-methionine:(2E,6E)-farnesoate O-methyltransferase | ||||||||
Comments: | The enzyme, found in insects, is involved in the synthesis of juvenile hormone III, a sesquiterpenoid that regulates several processes including embryonic development, metamorphosis, and reproduction, in many insect species. | ||||||||
