Description

Vitellogenesis Inhibiting Hormone CAS NO 138360-48-2 is a specialized peptide hormone that plays a critical regulatory role in crustacean reproduction by inhibiting the synthesis of yolk proteins (vitellogenin). This compound is essential for research and development in aquaculture and environmental endocrinology. It is primarily utilized by scientists and commercial producers focused on reproductive control, population management, and endocrine disruption studies in aquatic species.

Application

• Aquaculture Research: Fundamental studies on the reproductive cycles and endocrinology of commercially important crustaceans like shrimp, crabs, and lobsters.
• Population Control: Investigation of methods for managing reproduction in farmed or invasive crustacean species.
• Endocrine Disruption Screening: Serves as a reference standard in ecotoxicology to assess the impact of environmental pollutants on invertebrate hormonal systems.
• Physiological Studies: Used to understand the molecular mechanisms of vitellogenesis and its inhibition in various arthropod models.
• Biotechnology Development: A key reagent in the development of novel strategies for sustainable aquaculture and fisheries management.
