Neuropeptide
NPID NP03872
Name Neuropeptide F
Organism Drosophila melanogaster
NCBI Taxa ID 7227
Tissue Specificity Expressed in midgut, brain lobes and ventral nerve cord of larvae. Predominantly expressed in two pairs of protocerebral neurons in the larval CNS (at protein level). Intense expression is also seen in the fan-shaped body of the central complex and two lateral areas of the lower part of the central brain that appear to harbor the giant commissural interneurons of the giant fiber pathway (at protein level). Upon glucose feeding, two additional dNPFergic neurons are consistently detected on the ventromedial surface of the subesophageal ganglion (SEG) of third instars larvae. Expressed in a subset of sugar- responsive PAIN neurons in the thoracic body but is absent from other peripheral PAIN neurons.
