Hi!, I was wondering, since it’s starting to get hot here in the west coast, does heat affect [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/)? Because I carry a bottle in my car, and since it’s out on the heat I dont know it that degrades it or something.

well pheromones are proteins therefore they denature under extreme heat but I don’t know exactly what temperature but, with my experience, I’d have to say it’s probably 37 degrees celsius maybe a bit higher

Hopefully one of the biochemists can step in here.

Although there are some hormones that are proteins, I think that the hormonal breakdown products we’re dealing with on this forum are mostly formed from steroid hormones which are lipids (with a cholesterol backbone).

Who knows what all those putatives are, though.
