Neuropeptide F CAS NO.136697-70-6

Neuropeptide F (CAS NO. 136697-70-6) is a synthetic peptide representing a conserved invertebrate homolog of the vertebrate neuropeptide Y (NPY) family. This high-purity, research-grade peptide is a key signaling molecule in insects and other invertebrates, playing a central role in regulating feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, reproduction, and locomotion. It serves as a critical tool for comparative endocrinology and pest control research.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Neuropeptide F exerts its effects by binding to and activating specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) known as Neuropeptide F receptors (NPFRs), which are functionally analogous to vertebrate NPY receptors. This activation typically triggers the Gi/o protein signaling pathway, leading to inhibition of adenylate cyclase and a decrease in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is indicated for fundamental research in invertebrate biology, neuroendocrinology, and agricultural science. Key applications include: studying the regulation of feeding, foraging, and metabolism in insect models (e.g., Drosophila, mosquitoes, moths), investigating its role in insect reproduction and development, exploring potential applications in biorational pest management strategies by disrupting essential behaviors, and serving as a reference ligand for the identification and characterization of NPF receptors in various invertebrate species.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Neuropeptide F itself is not a human or veterinary therapeutic. Its "clinical" or practical efficacy is defined by its utility in basic science and its potential in agricultural biotechnology. Research using this peptide has been instrumental in elucidating the evolutionary conservation of feeding regulatory systems.
