Description

Allatostatin 1 is a biologically active neuropeptide that plays a critical role in the regulation of insect development and reproduction. This specific peptide is of significant value for advanced research in endocrinology and pest management strategies. It is primarily utilized by researchers in the fields of entomology, biochemistry, and agrochemical development for studying insect physiology and developing novel biocontrol agents.

Application

• Endocrinological Research: Fundamental studies on the regulation of juvenile hormone biosynthesis and insect metamorphosis.
• Insect Physiology Studies: Investigation of neuropeptide signaling pathways and their effects on growth, development, and reproduction in various insect species.
• Agrochemical R&D: Screening and evaluation of potential targets for the development of next-generation, species-specific insect growth regulators (IGRs).
• Biocontrol Agent Development: Exploration of peptide-based strategies for integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
• Comparative Genomics: Research into the evolution and function of allatostatin peptides across different arthropod taxa.
• Receptor Binding Assays: Used as a reference standard in competitive binding studies to characterize allatostatin receptors.

Quality Control

Our Allatostatin 1 is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including reversed-phase HPLC for purity assessment and mass spectrometry (MS) for identity confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing purity, peptide content, and analytical data is supplied with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store desiccated at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
