Ecdysteroid Biosynthesis

Ecdysteroid Biosynthesis is a biochemical pathway process that consists of the enzymatic synthesis of ecdysteroids, a class of steroid hormones regulating molting and development in arthropods, through specific transformations of cholesterol precursors in specialized endocrine tissues.
