General Information
Term adult fruitless pMP-e neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052710 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult fruitless neuron that develops from the DM4 neuroblast (Ren et al., 2016). There are many more of these cells in males than females and they are highly sexually dimorphic (Ren et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0128543 FlyBase:FBrf0205974 FlyBase:FBrf0211884 FlyBase:FBrf0211926 FlyBase:FBrf0233706 ]
Also Known As "adult fruitless pMP4 neuron" ; "fru-pMP-e"
Comment Ren et al. (2016) identify the DM4-derived female equivalent of the male pMP-e (P1) neurons and note that the female pMP-e clone in Cachero et al. (2010) may a be misidentified unrelated clone. Unlike in the male, there does not appear to be overlap between dsx pC1 and fru pMP-e in the female (Ren et al., 2016).
