Usage

Description

Ceratotoxin B is a natural peptide toxin produced by the Ceratitis capitata, or Mediterranean fruit fly, and is a potent paralytic agent. It acts by binding to voltage-gated sodium channels, disrupting the normal function of nerve cells and causing paralysis in the target organism.

Uses

Used in Insect Pest Control:
Ceratotoxin B is used as a paralytic agent for insect pest control, as it specifically targets insects and has a low toxicity towards vertebrates. This makes it a promising candidate for the development of novel insecticidal compounds for agricultural and commercial use.
Used in Agricultural Applications:
In the agricultural industry, ceratotoxin B is used as a paralytic agent for controlling insect pests that damage crops. Its specificity towards insects and low toxicity to vertebrates make it a safer alternative to traditional insecticides.
Used in Commercial Applications:
In the commercial industry, ceratotoxin B is used as a paralytic agent for controlling insect pests that can cause damage to stored products and other commercial goods. Its targeted action and low toxicity to vertebrates make it a more environmentally friendly option for pest control.
