Abstract: Sterol hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), specifically biosynthesized from cholesterol under the catalysis of a series of cytochrome P450 enzymes, is pivotal for insect molting and metamorphosis. Ecdysone, the precursor of 20E, is synthesized and secreted by a pair of prothoracic glands in holometabolous insects, and then is released into the hemolymph and converted to the active form 20E in peripheral tissues such as fat body, midgut and malpighian tubes during larval stage [1].
