sugar-sensing neuron of prothoracic leg tarsal taste bristle 2b [FBbt_00048215]

Sensory neuron that has a dendrite in the prothoracic leg tarsal taste bristle 2b and is capable of detecting sweet stimuli (Ling et al., 2014). It expresses Gr5a, Gr64c and Gr64e in addition to the core receptors expressed by sugar-sensing neurons of the leg and the sensillum it innervates can detect the sugars glucose, maltose, palatinose and sucrose (Ling et al., 2014). It does not ascend to the brain (Kwon et al., 2014).
