General Information
Term adult olfactory receptor neuron Gr21a/63a ID (Ontology) FBbt:00067064 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult unilateral odorant receptor neuron that expresses Gr21a and Gr63a (Couto et al., 2005; Kwon et al., 2007; Kaur et al., 2019; Benton et al., 2025). It responds to CO2 levels (Suh et al., 2004; Kwon et al., 2007). Its dendrite transduces signals from antennal basiconic sensillum ab1 and sends output to antennal glomerulus V (Benton et al., 2025). It develops from an Nbb precursor (Benton et al., 2025). There are around 30-40 of these cells on each side (Grabe et al., 2016; Benton et al., 2025).[ FlyBase:FBrf0051437 FlyBase:FBrf0179739 FlyBase:FBrf0187305 FlyBase:FBrf0192797 FlyBase:FBrf0233453 FlyBase:FBrf0243918 ]
Also Known As "adult olfactory receptor neuron Gr21a" ; "adult ORN Gr21a" ; "ORN (Gr21a)" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment Gr21a and Gr63a are only found in one ORN type and they are co-expressed (Kwon et al., 2006).
