AGENT THAT MODULATES PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION OF PESTS, INVOLVED IN INSECT CHOLINE ACETYLTRANSFERASE 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 choline acetyltransferase; a method for assaying pesticidal activity of a test substance, which comprises measuring the activity of a choline acetyltransferase in a reaction system in which the choline acetyltransferase contacts with a test substance, and the like.
