Identification of a novel gene, anorexia, regulating feeding activity via insulin signaling in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Feeding activities of animals, including insects, are influenced by various signals from the external environment, internal energy status, and physiological conditions. Full understanding of how such signals are integrated to regulate feeding activities has, however, been hampered by a lack of knowledge about the genes involved. Here, we identified an anorexic Drosophila melanogaster mutant (GS1189) in which the...
