General Information
Term adult male pheromone-sensing neuron of leg ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052300 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult gustatory neuron of the leg that detects male pheromones (Thistle et al., 2012; Kallman et al., 2015). It can be distinguished from female pheromone-detecting cells based on its lack of expression of ppk25 (Kallman et al., 2015). Some of these cells project to the subesophageal zone (Kallman et al., 2015).[ FlyBase:FBrf0218411 FlyBase:FBrf0230436 ]
Also Known As "leg PPK23+ PPK25- neuron" ; "M cell of leg"
Comment Not glutamatergic (Kallman et al., 2015).
