Description

Adipokinetic Hormone (Libellula Auripennis) is a neuropeptide hormone originally identified in the dragonfly species *Libellula auripennis*. This compound plays a critical role in the regulation of lipid mobilization and energy metabolism in insects. It is of significant interest for advanced research in comparative endocrinology, insect physiology, and the development of novel bio-rational pest management strategies. This high-purity material is essential for academic institutions, biotechnology firms, and agrochemical research and development laboratories.

Application

• Insect Physiology Research: Fundamental studies on lipid metabolism, flight energy regulation, and neuroendocrine signaling pathways in arthropods.
• Comparative Endocrinology: Investigation of evolutionary conservation and divergence of neuropeptide systems across different species.
• Agrochemical R&D: Target discovery and validation for the development of next-generation, species-specific insect growth regulators and pest control agents.
• Biotechnology: Synthesis of peptide analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and probe development.
• Academic Reference Standard: Use as a certified reference material in analytical laboratories for method development and validation.

Quality Control

Our Adipokinetic Hormone (Libellula Auripennis) is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure the highest standards of purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical characterization, including mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for structural confirmation. Purity is rigorously assessed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and content is provided with every shipment to support your research and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store 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 hydrolysis. For long-term storage, keep desiccated under an inert atmosphere.
