A brain-specific microRNA, miR-1000, regulates lipid homeostasis via Neuropeptide-like precursor 1 in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
2025-07-26
Abstract excerpt
Metabolism requires precise gene regulation to balance energy intake and expenditure for an organism’s well-being, with misregulation often leading to metabolic syndromes. This study reveals that the brain-specific microRNA miR-1000 regulates fat storage by controlling the expression of a neuropeptide gene, Nplp1 . Loss of miR-1000 increases Nplp1 expression, leading to higher body weight, increased fat storag...
