ectohormone (medicine)


ectohormone


A parahormonal chemical mediator of ecological significance which is secreted, largely by an organism (usually an invertebrate) into its immediate environment (air or water); it can alter the behaviour or functional activity of a second organism, often of the same species as that secreting the ectohormone.

See: ecological ectocrine.
