The biosynthesis of the hormone that triggers this process is controlled by phantom, shade, disembodied, and shadow, which are members of the Halloween family.
The biosynthesis of the hormone that triggers this process is controlled by phantom, shade, disembodied, and shadow, which are members of the Halloween family. The receptor central to triggering this process is a dimer of the ultraspiracle protein fused to the EchR protein, and that receptor is also triggered by dibenzoylhydrazine analogs. This process transitions the organism from one instar to the next, and it is triggered by a steroid hormone called ecdysone. It results in the creation of exuviae, and begins with a separation of the (*) cuticle from the epidermis. Some species of spider undergo this process annually, and it ends with the organism crawling out of its old exoskeleton. For 10 points, name this process in which an insect sheds its skin.
