42018 Q9VET0 NPF_DROME Neuropeptide F (NPF) (dNPF) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Increased NPF or NPFR activity dominantly suppresses PAIN-mediated food aversion in postfeeding larvae. Deficiency in NPF/NPFR signaling causes decreased alcohol sensitivity and overexpression causes a hypersensitive response to alcohol sedation. Controlled functional disruption of NPF or NPFR neurons rapidly triggers acute resistance to ethanol sedation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15677721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20164335, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22422983}.
