The molecule is an apo carotenoid sesquiterpenoid that consists of a cylohexene ring substituted by methyl groups at positions 2, 6 and 6 and a (1E)-1-(formyloxy)-2-methylbut-1-en-4-yl group at position 2. It has a role as an animal metabolite and a luciferin. It is an apo carotenoid sesquiterpenoid and a formate ester.
