RF-amide peptide, Drosophila

<p>RF-amide peptide, Drosophila, is a synthetic neuropeptide derived from the fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>, characterized by its C-terminal Arg-Phe-NH2 (RF-amide) motif. This peptide is a key member of the FMRFamide-like peptide (FLP) family and is widely used in entomological and neurobiological research to study the regulation of feeding behavior, muscle contraction, and circadian rhythms in insects.…

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

The peptide exerts its biological effects by binding to specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the insect nervous system, such as those encoded by genes like CG5811 and CG10823. This interaction modulates intracellular signaling pathways, leading to the regulation of neuronal excitability and the release of other neurotransmitters, thereby influencing physiological processes like heart rate and gut motility.


2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is indicated for use in research applications involving the study of insect neuroendocrinology, particularly for investigating the role of RF-amide peptides in the control of feeding, reproduction, and stress responses in Drosophilamodels. It serves as a critical tool for functional assays, receptor binding studies, and behavioral experiments in entomology and comparative physiology.


3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

As a research-grade reagent, RF-amide peptide, Drosophila, is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use in humans or animals. Its efficacy is demonstrated in preclinical research settings, where it has been shown to effectively modulate neuronal activity and physiological responses in insect models, providing valuable insights into the evolutionary conservation of neuropeptide signaling systems.
