Nerylformate

Nerylformate, a terpenoid derivative, is secreted by American and European house dust mites (Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus). It plays a crucial role in attracting both male and female mites, facilitating aggregation to mitigate dehydration and enhance defensive mechanisms. This compound is valuable for research in immunology and inflammation, particularly in studies related to allergic rhinitis.
