Description

Comparative Analysis of PVK Homologs

PVKs exhibit sequence and functional conservation across arthropods:

SpeciesPVK TypeSequenceKey FunctionReference
Princisia vanwaerbekiPVK-3GSSGLISMPRVVisceral muscle contraction
Pilema dubiaPVK-3GSSGMIPFPRVMyotropic activity in cockroaches
Periplaneta americanaPVK-1GASGLIPVMRN-NH₂Hyperneural muscle excitation
Rhipicephalus microplusCAP2b/PVKpQGLIPFPRVaFemale feeding, reproduction, and survival

4.1. In Vitro Studies

PriVa-PVK-3 is used to investigate:

  • Muscle Contraction Mechanisms: Testing dose-dependent responses in insect visceral tissues .

  • Receptor Binding: Mapping interactions with G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in arthropods .

4.2. Physiological Impact

Silencing PVK receptors in R. microplus reduced female survival (28% mortality), egg mass weight (20–30% decrease), and egg hatching rates (15–20% decline) , highlighting PVKs as potential targets for pest control.

Knowledge Gaps and Future Directions

  • Structural-Activity Relationships (SAR): Limited data on PriVa-PVK-3’s binding kinetics or receptor specificity.

  • In Vivo Efficacy: No published studies on its effects in Princisia vanwaerbeki or related species.

  • Therapeutic Potential: Antagonists of PVK signaling could disrupt arthropod physiology, offering novel pest-control strategies .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We preferentially ship the in-stock format. For specific format requirements, please note them when ordering.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary by purchase method and location. Consult local distributors for specific delivery times. All proteins are shipped with blue ice packs by default. Request dry ice in advance (extra fees apply).
Notes
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute in sterile deionized water to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Add 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer ingredients, temperature, and protein stability. Liquid form: 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form: 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
