    Product Description

    The mating and social behaviors of insects are largely orchestrated by a suite of volatile hydrocarbon pheromones. 11(Z)-Vaccenyl Acetate is the male-specific mating pheromone of the fruit fly D. melanogaster. It acts selectively through the Or67d odorant receptor to control mating behavior in both male and female fruit flies.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
