Cowpea trypsin inhibitor(CPTI)
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)
