Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a reagent for regulating the physiological state of pests, participating in the activity of insect voltage-gated potassium channels, and the like. Background technique
[0002] Voltage-gated potassium channels are membrane proteins that respond to membrane potential to selectively permeate potassium ions and are ubiquitous in animals, plants, and microorganisms, and include a variety of molecular species. According to the structural and physiological functional characteristics, the voltage-gated potassium channels are classified into many families, namely Shaker type, EAG (ether-a-go-go) type, KvLQT, etc. (Gutman et al., Pharmacol. Reviews (Pharmacological Reviews) , 55(4):583-586, 2003).
[0003] Seizure is the insect homologue of human ERG (hERG) and a member of the EAG family of voltage-gated potassium channels. The EAG family consists of three subfamilies EAG (ether-a-go-go), ERG (EAG-related genes) and ELK (EAG-like gene...
