Type A Allatostatin I CAS NO.123338-10-3

Type A Allatostatin I (often abbreviated as AST-A I) is a synthetic neuropeptide belonging to the Allatostatin A family. This family of peptides is evolutionarily conserved in insects and crustaceans, where they play critical roles as inhibitory regulators. Type A Allatostatins are primarily known for their ability to inhibit the biosynthesis of juvenile hormone (JH) in the corpora allata of insects, thereby influencing development, reproduction, and metamorphosis. This research-grade peptide is an essential tool for insect endocrinology, physiology, and pest management research.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Type A Allatostatin I exerts its effects by binding to specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) on target cells. The canonical mechanism involves:
  1. Receptor Binding: The peptide binds with high affinity to Allatostatin A receptors (AST-ARs) present on the membrane of endocrine cells, such as those in the corpora allata, and neurons.
  2. Inhibition of Adenylate Cyclase: Receptor activation typically couples to Gi/o proteins, leading to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase. This results in a decrease in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels.
  3. Suppression of Juvenile Hormone Synthesis: In the corpora allata, the drop in cAMP and associated signaling cascades directly inhibits the enzymes and pathways required for the biosynthesis of juvenile hormone (JH). JH is a key hormone that promotes juvenile characteristics and vitellogenesis (yolk production).
  4. Neuromodulation: In the nervous system, AST-As act as inhibitory neurotransmitters or neuromodulators, affecting muscle contraction (especially gut motility), neural excitability, and other physiological processes.


2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is indicated for fundamental and applied research in invertebrate biology and pest management. Key applications include:
  • Insect Endocrinology & Physiology: Studying the regulation of juvenile hormone titers, metamorphosis, reproduction (vitellogenesis), and diapause.
  • Neurobiology: Investigating the role of allatostatins as inhibitory neurotransmitters/modulators in the insect central and stomatogastric nervous systems, particularly their myoinhibitory effects on gut and heart muscle.
  • Comparative Zoology: Exploring the evolution of neuropeptide systems across arthropods.
  • Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Research: As a lead compound for developing novel, species-specific insect growth regulators (IGRs) that disrupt development and reproduction without affecting non-target organisms.


3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Type A Allatostatin I is not a clinical therapeutic for humans or vertebrates. Its "efficacy" is defined in the context of basic science and agricultural biotechnology.
  • Validated Biological Activity: It is a proven, potent inhibitor of JH biosynthesis in multiple insect species, with clear effects on development and reproduction in experimental models.
  • Research Tool Efficacy: It is an indispensable reagent for mapping neuroendocrine circuits and understanding the hormonal control of insect life cycles.
  • Therapeutic Potential in Pest Control: Research using this peptide provides the foundational knowledge required to design stable peptide analogs, mimetics, or receptor-targeting agents that could serve as next-generation, environmentally friendly biorational pesticides. Its high specificity for insect systems makes it an attractive template for such development.
