Juvenile hormone III (JH III) is a crucial biologically active compound belonging to the juvenile hormone family, which plays a significant role in the development and reproduction of insects. It is a sesquiterpenoid molecule derived from the metabolism of farnesol and is essential for maintaining the juvenile state in insects, preventing premature metamorphosis, and regulating various physiological processes such as molting, reproduction, and behavior. JH III is synthesized in the corpora allata, a pair of endocrine glands located in the head of insects, and its levels are tightly regulated to ensure proper development and growth. The hormone's activity is terminated through degradation by enzymes called juvenile hormone esterases, which help maintain the delicate balance of JH III levels within the insect's body.

The CAS Registry Mumber 5255-04-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,2,5 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5255-04: (6*5)+(5*2)+(4*5)+(3*5)+(2*0)+(1*4)=79 79 % 10 = 9 So 5255-04-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
