Summary: Predicted to enable ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and taste receptor activity. Involved in male courtship behavior, tapping to detect pheromone and response to pheromone. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including adult subesophageal zone; chaeta; gustatory receptor neurons; organism subdivision; and region of integument.
