Description

Allatotropin (5-13), n-Acetylval-Nle(7,8)- is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the insect neuropeptide allatotropin. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical research for its role in regulating juvenile hormone biosynthesis. It serves as a critical research tool for scientists in entomology, neuroendocrinology, and developmental biology, enabling the study of insect physiology and the development of novel pest management strategies.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Fundamental studies on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of allatotropin and its receptor interactions.
• Insect Physiology Studies: Investigation of hormonal control over development, reproduction, and metabolism in various insect species.
• Neuropeptide Analog Development: Serving as a lead compound or intermediate for synthesizing modified peptide analogs with enhanced stability or activity.
• Academic & Institutional Research: A key reagent in university and government laboratory projects focused on insect endocrinology.
• Agrochemical R&D: Potential use in the research and development of next-generation, hormone-based insect growth regulators (IGRs) for integrated pest management (IPM).
• In Vitro Bioassays: Used in cell-based or tissue-based assays to screen for biological activity and potency.
