Term Name:	ascr#5
Synonyms:	(-)-3-(3'R,5'R-dihydroxy-6'S-methyl-(2H)-tetrahydropyran-2'-yloxy)-propanoic acid, 3-[(3,6-dideoxy-alpha-L-arabino-hexopyranosyl)oxy]propanoic acid, 3-hydroxypropanoic acid 3-O-alpha-ascarylopyranoside, ascaroside C3
Definition:	An omega-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside obtained by formal condensation of the alcoholic hydroxy group of 3-hydroxypropanoic acid with ascarylopyranose (the alpha anomer). A major component of the dauer pheromone of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, it synergises with ascr#2 and ascr#3 as a population-density signal to promote entry into an alternate larval stage, the nonfeeding and highly persistent dauer diapause.
