CPTI is a plant-derived anthelmintic protein widely used in genetic engineering for insect resistance because of its broad spectrum of resistance and low susceptibility to insect tolerance.

'''How does it work?'''
−
CPTI can inhibite the serine protease by interacting with the active site of serine protease. Simultaneously, CPTI inhibits insect feeding by stimulating feedback signals from insect (Xuhong-lin et al.,2008)

'''Eco-friendly and Safe'''
−
CPTI, a member of the Bowman-Birk protein family. Anti-insect spectrum tests show that CPTI inhibits almost all tested major agricultural pests. (Xuhong-lin et al.,2008) And, most importantly. it is Eco-friendly and Safe. (see more detail on https://2023.igem.wiki/scau-china/safety）
