Calcium Permeable Insect Sodium Channels and Uses Thereof

Detailed Technology Description
This invention provides compositions and methods to produce a calcium permeable voltage-sensitive sodium channel of insects.
Others

Patent issued in the U.S. under the number 5,858,713.
*Abstract

Cornell researchers have found that calcium-permeable sodium channel proteins and the gene can be used to screen for compounds with insecticidal properties and for development of novel insecticides or insect control methods.

 

PotentialApplications

  • Sequencing of the insecticide sensitive or resistant voltage-sensitivesodium channel (VSSC) of house fly
  • Site directed mutagenesis of the house fly sodium channel
  • Expression of calcium permeable sodium channels on oocytesor cultured insect cells
