General Information
Term allatostatin C DN3 neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052251 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition DN3 neuron that expresses allatostatin C (AstC). There are approximately 20 of these per DN3 cluster (Diaz et al., 2019). In females, its AstC levels and steady-state firing rate are reduced in cold temperatures and it is involved in the regulation of egg production in response to cold temperatures (Meiselman et al., 2022).[ FlyBase:FBrf0241130 FlyBase:FBrf0253003 ]
Also Known As "AstC DN3"
Comment These cells are present in males (Diaz et al., 2019) and females (Meiselman et al., 2022), but function only investigated in females in Meiselman et al. (2022).
