Ovoinhibitor is a type of protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the activity of certain enzymes, particularly those involved in the digestive processes of insects. It is often found in the eggs of various species, where it helps protect the developing embryos from predation by inhibiting the digestive enzymes of potential predators. This protein is of interest in the field of biotechnology and agriculture, as it can be used to develop pest-resistant crops. By incorporating ovoinhibitor into plants, researchers aim to reduce the damage caused by insect pests, leading to more sustainable farming practices.
