Ascr#7（Cat No.:I044965）is a synthetic ascaroside, a small-molecule pheromone structurally related to glycolipids produced by Caenorhabditis elegans. It plays a crucial role in regulating nematode development, behavior, and social communication, including dauer formation and mating responses. Ascr#7 is often used in chemical biology and neurobiology research to study signaling pathways and population-density sensing mechanisms in nematodes. Its highly specific bioactivity enables dissection of GPCR-mediated pheromone perception. This compound is valuable for understanding evolutionarily conserved signaling systems and developing nematode control strategies. Supplied at high purity for experimental research purposes only.
