sNPFc00448/sNPFc00448 and sNPFc00448/sNPFMI01807 mutant larvae have significantly reduced nociceptive movement responses following stimulation with a von Frey filament, compared to controls; sNPFc00448/+ heterozygotes also have reduced mechanonociceptive behavior, and this is exacerbated by expression of sNPFdsRNA.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp7.PY; sNPFc00448 homozygotes have mildly increased latency of rolling in response to high temperature (local) stimulation, compared to controls.
Body size is 23% of wild type. Similar changes are seen in the overall size of adult wings, resulting from changes in both cell size and number.
The size of fat body cells is reduced by 51%.
