Agent that modulates physiological condition of pests, involved in insect peptidyl-dipeptidase A activity

摘要

The present invention provides an agent that modulates physiological condition of pests, wherein the agent has an ability to modulate the activity of an insect peptidyl-dipeptidase A; a method for assaying pesticidal activity of a test substance, which comprises a step of measuring the activity of a peptidyl-dipeptidase A in a reaction system in which the peptidyl-dipeptidase A contacts with a test substance, and the like.
