Allocholic acid
Allocholic acid, a primary bile acid from the river carpsucker (Carpiodes carpio), acts as a potent and specific stimulant of the adult olfactory system. It functions as a migratory pheromone in lamprey, making it a key compound for research in chemical ecology, neurobiology, and olfactory signaling pathways.
