Ecdysone

Description: Ecdysone is a major steroid hormone in insects and herbs. Ecdysone triggers mineralocorticoid receptor activation and induces cellular apoptosis. Ecdysone signaling through Ecdysone receptor isoform B1 is required cell autonomously for the muscle death. Target: Glucocorticoid Receptor, Autophagy, ATPase, Sodium Channel, Apoptosis, Potassium Channel, Endogenous Metabolite.
