adult male pheromone-sensing neuron of leg [FBbt_00052300]

Adult gustatory neuron of the leg that detects male pheromones (Thistle et al., 2012; Kallman et al., 2015). It can be distinguished from female pheromone-detecting cells based on its lack of expression of ppk25 (Kallman et al., 2015). Some of these cells project to the subesophageal zone (Kallman et al., 2015).
