The molecule is a C19-gibberellin, initially identified in Phaseolus coccineus. It differs from gibberellin A1 in the presence of an extra beta-OH group at C-3 (gibbane numbering). It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a lactone, a gibberellin monocarboxylic acid and a C19-gibberellin. It is a conjugate acid of a gibberellin A8(1-).
