    Summary
    Predicted to enable ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity. Involved in chemosensory behavior; response to L-canavanine; and response to insecticide. 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 labellum sensillum; adult neuromere; adult oenocyte; ejaculatory bulb; and organism subdivision.
