Petromyzonol is a tetrahydroxy stearol derived from allocholic acid in larval sea lamprey bile. Its sulfate ester acts as a potent spawning pheromone, detectable at minute concentrations by adult olfactory receptors. This compound is used in research on chemosensory biology, olfactory signaling, and aquatic chemical ecology.
