Description

Type A Allatostatin Iii is a specific neuropeptide belonging to the allatostatin family, which plays a crucial role in regulating juvenile hormone biosynthesis in insects. This compound matters for researchers and developers in the life sciences sector seeking to understand and potentially disrupt insect growth and development cycles. It is primarily needed by professionals in entomological research, agrochemical development, and insect physiology studies for use as a biochemical tool and reference standard.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a reference standard in studies of insect endocrinology and neuropeptide signaling pathways.
• Agrochemical Screening: Used in bioassays to evaluate the efficacy of novel insect growth regulators (IGRs) and pest control agents.
• Physiological Studies: Investigation of the role of allatostatins in insect reproduction, metamorphosis, and feeding behavior.
• Neuropeptide Analysis: A key analyte in method development for peptide quantification using techniques like LC-MS/MS.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Fundamental research in universities and institutes focused on comparative endocrinology and invertebrate biology.
• Veterinary Parasitology: Potential research into novel control methods for insect parasites affecting livestock.

Quality Control

Our Type A Allatostatin Iii is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research applications. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including purity assessment by HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your research integrity and documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product should be handled under anhydrous conditions and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
