Activity

  • Function:  A hormone that controls sex pheromone production in females and pheromone responsiveness in male. Also mediates visceral muscle contractile activity (myotropic activity).
  • Mechanism:  Juvenile hormone seems to allow PBAN release, which then induces pheromone biosynthesis. PBAN is produced independent of the photoperiod. The circadian rhythm in pheromone production is due to the circadian rhythm of PBAN release.
