UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of sNPF-RJF02657 under the control of Scer\GAL41003.3 and Scer\GAL80tsh-GAL80 or Scer\GAL4ppk.PG, but not Scer\GAL4GMR72F11, in larvae significantly reduces nociceptive movement responses following stimulation with a von Frey filament, compared to controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PG does not affect the latency of rolling in response to high temperature (local) stimulation, compared to controls.
Expression of sNPF-RJF02657 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU in adult females does not affect locomotor activity in fed conditions, compared to controls; like controls, locomotor activity is significantly increased under starvation conditions.
