General Information
|
| Term |
insulin secreting cell of pars intercerebralis |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00004011 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Insulin-producing neuron with a cell body in the pars intercerebralis. These cells coexpress the genes Insulin-like peptide (Ilp) 2, Ilp3 and Ilp5 (Reinhard et al., 2024). There are approximately 7-9 of these cells per hemisphere and they fasciculate with the nervus corporis cardiaci (McKim et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0134726 FlyBase:FBrf0136823 FlyBase:FBrf0149175 FlyBase:FBrf0151837 FlyBase:FBrf0184236 FlyBase:FBrf0193772 FlyBase:FBrf0212696 FlyBase:FBrf0224974 FlyBase:FBrf0261099 ] |
| Also Known As |
"insulin producing cell of brain" ; "m-NSC DILP" |
| Comment |
Insulin-producing cells are found amongst the median neurosecretory cells, but not all mNSCs are IPCs (FBrf0212696), despite misleading phrasing in some articles (e.g. FBrf0184236). |
