The neuropeptide sulfakinin is a peripheral regulator of insect behavioral switch between mating and foraging by Hong-Fei Li, Bao Dong, Yuan-Yuan Peng, Hao-Yue Luo, Xiao-Lan Ou, Zheng-Lin Ren, Yoonseong Park, Jin-Jun Wang, Hong-Bo Jiang

“…Further analysis of the mutant flies revealed that sets of odorant receptor (OR) genes were differentially expressed. Functional characterization of the differentially expressed ORs suggested that sulfakinin directly suppresses the expression of ORs that respond to opposite-sex hormones while enhancing the expression of ORs that detect food volatiles. …”
