adult dorsal posterior Ilp7 (male) neuron [FBbt_00111305]
adult dorsal posterior Ilp7 (male) neuron
ID: FBbt_00111305
Male version of the adult dorsal posterior Ilp7 neuron, which expresses the male isoform of fruitless (Castellanos et al., 2013. It is a serotonergic neuron that innervates the seminal vesicle (Castellanos et al., 2013. There are 4 of these neurons per organism, which are a subset of the serotonergic abdominal giant neurons (Castellanos et al., 2013. Unlike the female version, this cell is not a motor neuron and expression of postsynaptic glutamate receptors is much lower (Castellanos et al., 2013. (Castellanos et al., 2013)
They also express fruitless (FBgn0004652) but not doublesex (FBgn0000504). The expression of Bruchpilot was used to reveal presynaptic terminals (Castellanos et al., 2013. May be equivalent to or overlap with serotonergic abdominal giant (male) neuron 1 - FBbt:00048428 - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1373-1705.
