gustatory receptor neuron C6 of the terminal organ distal group [FBbt_00047460]

Larval gustatory receptor neuron of the terminal organ distal group. It has a cell body in the terminal organ ganglion and innervates knob sensillum K2 of the terminal organ distal group with a dendrite that is folded and densely packed at the distal end (Rist and Thum, 2017. There is one of these cells per hemisphere and it expresses Gr21a and Gr63a (Kwon et al., 2011. The C6 neuron responds to high salt concentrations, hydrochloric, some sugars (van Giesen et al., 2016, carbon dioxide and mechanical stimuli (Komarov et al., 2025. (Rist and Thum, 2017, van Giesen et al., 2016, Komarov et al., 2025, Kwon et al., 2011)
