Description: | Farnesoic acid ((2E, 6E)-3, 7, 11-trimethyldodeca-2, 6, 10-trienoic acid) is the substrate of farnesoic acid O-methyltransferase which produces the crustacean reproductive hormone, methyl farnesoate (MF). MF is responsible for enhancing reproductive maturation, maintaining juvenile morphology, and influencing male sex determination. Farnesoic acid also inhibits filiment formation in (C. albicans).
