General Information
Term ecdysteroid metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0045455 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways involving ecdysteroids, a group of polyhydroxylated ketosteroids ubiquitous in insects and other arthropods, in which they initiate post-embryonic development, including the metamorphosis of immature forms and the development of the reproductive system and the maturation of oocytes in adult females.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As"ecdysteroid metabolism"
