bitter-sensing neuron of prothoracic leg tarsal taste bristle 5s [FBbt_00048214]

Sensory neuron that has a dendrite in the prothoracic leg tarsal taste bristle 5s and is capable of detecting bitter stimuli (Ling et al., 2014). It expresses many other gustatory receptors (including Gr66a, but not Gr32a) in addition to the core receptors expressed by bitter-sensing neurons of the leg and the sensillum it innervates can detect a wide range of bitter tastants (Ling et al., 2014). It passes through the prothoracic ganglion, then projects towards the head (Kwon et al., 2014).
