Recombinant Blatta lateralis Pyrokinin-5 is a synthetically produced neuropeptide derived from the German cockroach (Blatta lateralis). Pyrokinins are a family of insect neuropeptides characterized by a conserved C-terminal FXPRLamide motif, which is critical for receptor binding and physiological activity . This recombinant variant is generated using genetic engineering techniques to enable functional studies of pyrokinin signaling in insect physiology, pest control research, and comparative neuroendocrinology.
This recombinant protein is produced in multiple heterologous systems to accommodate diverse experimental needs:
The yeast-derived variant (CSB-YP308809BHH) is the most commonly documented .
