Controlled Product

CAS: 72050-71-6

24-epi-Castasterone is a brassinosteroid, which is a class of plant steroids, often extracted from various plant tissues synthesized in small quantities. This compound is primarily derived from plant sources such as seeds, pollen, and young vegetative tissues. It functions by binding to specific receptor kinases on plant cell membranes, thereby initiating a cascade of intracellular signaling that regulates gene expression. These pathways are crucial for the modulation of plant growth and development processes.
