Long NPF has been cloned in Rhodnius (RhoprNPF) and is conserved across arthropods.
- bel">•
RhoprNPF is predominantly expressed in the CNS and gut of instars and adults.
- bel">•
12 paired cells express RhoprNPF transcript in the brain of instars and adults.
- bel">•
Adult female lateral oviducts contain cells that express RhoprNPF.
- bel">•
RhoprNPF and FM/IRFamides increase egg production whereas MS and AST inhibit.
