Sialokinin — frequently asked

What are sialokinins?
Sialokinins are tachykinin-related peptides found in mosquito salivary glands, especially in Aedes aegypti. Two forms are described, sialokinin I and II, which differ at a single N-terminal residue but share the conserved tachykinin C-terminal motif.
Why are invertebrate peptides tested on vertebrate receptors?
Sialokinins are reported to be injected into the host during blood feeding and to act on host tachykinin NK1 receptors. Studying them on vertebrate receptors reflects where they are described as acting rather than where they are produced.
What are the labeled versions used for?
Biotin-, FAM- and rhodamine-labeled analogues serve as probes in receptor binding, internalisation and imaging experiments. They allow the peptide to be tracked or captured without radioactivity, which suits microscopy and plate-based assay formats.
