Description

Diuretic Hormone Mas-Dh Precursor, Manduca Sexta is a biologically active peptide hormone precursor isolated from the tobacco hornworm, *Manduca sexta*. This compound is of significant interest in entomological and comparative endocrinology research for studying fluid balance and osmoregulation mechanisms. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and biotechnology companies focused on insect physiology, neuropeptide discovery, and the development of novel bio-insecticides. The product is supplied as a high-purity, lyophilized powder suitable for laboratory use.

Application

• Fundamental Neuroendocrine Research: Studying the biosynthesis, processing, and function of diuretic hormones in Lepidoptera and related insect orders.
• Insect Physiology Studies: Investigating the mechanisms of Malpighian tubule function, diuresis, and ion transport regulation in insect models.
• Comparative Endocrinology: Serving as a reference standard for exploring the evolution and diversity of peptide hormone systems across arthropods.
• Bioassay Development: Used as a standard in developing and validating in vitro or in vivo assays for diuretic hormone activity.
• Target Identification for Pest Control: Aiding in the characterization of specific receptors or pathways that could be targeted for next-generation, species-specific insect growth regulators.
• Peptide Chemistry & Analog Synthesis: Acting as a starting material or template for the synthesis of peptide analogs to study structure-activity relationships (SAR).
