NPFD1 [FBbt_00048118]

Male-specific neuropeptide F-expressing neuron of the adult with a cell body in the anterior dorsal brain, ventral to the D2 neurons, dorsolateral to the antennal lobe (Lee et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2019). It arborizes extensively in the superior brain (Lee et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2019). Its peptide release sites are in the anterior medial brain and its release of NPF suppresses male courtship (Liu et al., 2019). There are approximately 3 of these cells per hemisphere and they also express the male isoform of fruitless (Lee et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2019).

Adult Nervous system Peptidergic

Male-specific neuropeptide F-expressing neuron of the adult with a cell body in the anterior dorsal brain, ventral to the D2 neurons, dorsolateral to the antennal lobe (Lee et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2019). It arborizes extensively in the superior brain (Lee et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2019). Its peptide release sites are in the anterior medial brain and its release of NPF suppresses male courtship (Liu et al., 2019). There are approximately 3 of these cells per hemisphere and they also express the male isoform of fruitless (Lee et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2019).

NPF D1 from Lee et al. (2006) judged to be equivalent to NPFM from Liu et al. (2019) on the basis of belonging to a male-specific anterior cluster of ~3 neurons per hemisphere dorsolateral to the antennal lobe, expressing NPF and fru, and having dorsal arborization.
