Nerylformate

Nerylformate is a terpenoid derivative secreted by American house dust mites (Dermatophagoides farinae) and European house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) . Nerylformate has a significant attraction effect on both male and female individuals of the two species of house dust mites. Nerylformate guides the mites to gather together to reduce dehydration and enhance defense. Nerylformate can be used for the research of immunology and inflammation, such as allergic rhinitis[1].
