Ascr#7 is a small-molecule glycolipid pheromone secreted by Caenorhabditis elegans, belonging to the ascaroside family. These compounds are often referred to as "dauer pheromones" and serve as critical chemical signals regulating development, social behavior, and stress responses in nematodes. The expression of Ascr#7 is strongly dependent on diet and developmental stage. Its primary biological function is to induce the formation of long-lived and highly stress-resistant dauer larvae. This mechanism allows nematodes to arrest normal development and enter a specialized diapause state for survival during adverse environmental conditions such as food scarcity or high population density.

| Description | Ascr#7 is a small-molecule glycolipid pheromone secreted by Caenorhabditis elegans, belonging to the ascaroside family. These compounds are often referred to as "dauer pheromones" and serve as critical chemical signals regulating development, social behavior, and stress responses in nematodes. The expression of Ascr#7 is strongly dependent on diet and developmental stage. Its primary biological function is to induce the formation of long-lived and highly stress-resistant dauer larvae. This mechanism allows nematodes to arrest normal development and enter a specialized diapause state for survival during adverse environmental conditions such as food scarcity or high population density. |
| In vitro | Ascr#7 acts as a potent developmental regulator in C. elegans by triggering the shift to the dauer pathway via sensory GPCRs. Its biosynthesis and secretion are dynamically modulated by nutritional status and population density, serving as a proxy for environmental quality [1]. |

H2O/DMSO
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSO
to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.
1) Add 100 μL of the DMSO
stock solution to 400 μL PEG300
and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.
2) Add 50 μL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.
3) Add 450 μL Saline,PBS or ddH2O
and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
