Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
crustacean metabolite  An animal metabolite produced by arthropods such as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimps and krill.
hormone  Originally referring to an endogenous compound that is formed in specialized organ or group of cells and carried to another organ or group of cells, in the same organism, upon which it has a specific regulatory function, the term is now commonly used to include non-endogenous, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic analogues of such compounds.
animal metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in animals that include diverse creatures from sponges, insects to mammals.
