General Information
Term adult doublesex pC2 (male) neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047351 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Doublesex-expressing neuron of the male that is part of a cluster in the posterior region of the protocerebrum. There are more of these cells in the male than pC2 (female) cells in the female. Many of these are activated by the presence of females, but not males (Takayanagi-Kiya and Kiya, 2019). Approximately 26 of these cells per hemisphere arise from the CP3 (DL2) neuroblast (Ren et al., 2016).[ FlyBase:FBrf0159058 FlyBase:FBrf0210397 FlyBase:FBrf0210735 FlyBase:FBrf0233706 FlyBase:FBrf0234085 FlyBase:FBrf0241873 ]
Also Known As "doublesex-expressing posterior Cell-2 (male)" ; "dsx-expressing posterior Cell-2 (male)" ; "dsx-pC2 (male)"
