sugar-sensing neuron of the leg

ID: FBbt_00048210

Adult Gustatory system Nervous system Sensory neuron

Sensory neuron that responds to sugars and innervates a taste bristle in the leg. These are characterized by expression of gustatory receptors Gr61a and Gr64f, with varying combinations of other Gr64 genes, Gr5a and Gr43a (Ling et al., 2014. (Ling et al., 2014)

Gr expression determined by an exhaustive Gr-GAL4 expression screen of all Gr genes (although Gr68a expression could not be reliably mapped) in neurons of all tarsal taste bristles of all legs (Ling et al., 2014.
