Definition (free text, please give PubMed ID)
The mandibular organ is an endocrine gland located at the base of the posterior adductor tendons of the mandible. The mandibular organ synthesizes and secretes methyl farnesoate, a juvenile hormone-related compound, playing an essential role in the regulation of growth and reproduction in crustaceans. It is negatively regulated by the eyestalk peptide hormone mandibular organ inhibiting hormone. PMID: 9783445, PMID: 36410448
