Overview of Gene Research
Npffr1, also known as GPR147, is the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor for neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) [1]. It inhibits cAMP production and is involved in multiple physiological processes such as cardiovascular regulation, nociception, and reproduction [1,4,5]. The NPFF-Npffr1 signaling pathway is also potentially related to the regulation of energy homeostasis and blood pressure [4,6,7]. Genetic models like knockout mice can be valuable for studying its functions.
In male mouse models of acute fentanyl-induced analgesia and hyperalgesia, Npffr1 knockout (npffr1-/-) mice showed a marked reversal of fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia, indicating that Npffr1 plays a role in opioid-induced hyperalgesia [2]. In female rats, the selective Npffr1 antagonist GJ14 blocked the RFRP-3-induced increase in prolactin secretion, suggesting that RFRP-3 binds to Npffr1 to stimulate prolactin release [3].
In conclusion, Npffr1 is involved in various physiological functions including pain modulation, prolactin secretion regulation, and potentially in blood pressure and energy homeostasis. The use of npffr1-/-mouse models has been crucial in revealing its role in opioid-induced hyperalgesia, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for pain-related and reproductive-related diseases [2,3].
