Description: Short neuropeptide F (sNPF) is a stage-specific suppressor for juvenile hormone biosynthesis by corpora allata, and a critical factor for the initiation of insect metamorphosis. sNPF is broadly expressed in multiple brain regions, including the mushroom body (MB), the pars intercerebralis (PI), the central complex (CC) and some clock neurons.The major function of sNPF has been proposed to be the regulation of feeding and metabolism in adults.
