Atypical expression of Drosophila gustatory receptor genes in sensory and central neurons.
Published in The Journal of Comparative Neurology
Members of the Drosophila gustatory receptor (Gr) gene family are generally expressed in chemosensory neurons and are known to mediate the perception of sugars, bitter substrates, CO(2), and pheromones. The Gr gene family consists of 68 members, many of which are organized in gene clusters of up to six genes, yet only expression of about 15 Gr gene...
