General Information
Term adult female pheromone-sensing neuron of leg ID (Ontology) FBbt:00052299 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult gustatory neuron of the leg that detects female pheromones (Thistle et al., 2012; Kallman et al., 2015). It can be distinguished from male-pheromone-detecting cells based on its expression of ppk25 (Kallman et al., 2015). It is glutamatergic (Kallman et al., 2015). These cells do not ascend to the brain (Kallman et al., 2015).[ FlyBase:FBrf0218411 FlyBase:FBrf0230436 ]
Also Known As"F cell of leg" ; "leg PPK23+ PPK25+ neuron"
