General Information
Term adult pheromone-sensing neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00058247 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Any adult neuron (FBbt:00047095) that is capable of some detection of pheromone (GO:0043695).[ FlyBase:FBrf0218411 ]
Comment Likely to be the ppk23 cells, as null mutants lose leg and proboscis responses to pheromones, however, function of ppk23 in wing margin was not investigated. (Thistle et al., 2012 - FBrf0218411). ppk23 cells are distinct from sugar and water cells, but a few cells coexpress Gr66a and ppk23 (Thistle et al., 2012). Some ppk23 cells also express ppk29, but not clear from Thistle et al. (2012) whether this is all or a subset.
