apterous-expressing neuron of the lateral cluster of the thorax Ap4 [FBbt_00110872]
Larval neurosecretory interneuron of the lateral cluster of the thoracic neuromere that is generated by neuroblast NB5-6. It is the last of this cluster of apterous-expressing neurons to be generated, after the Ap3 neuron. Its cell body is located close to the lateral border of the thoracic neuromere, ventrolateral to the ventrolateral tract of the midline. It projects its axon below the ventrolateral, central lateral and central intermediate tracts and approaches the dorsal median tract from below, where it arborizes extensively. It expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide and innervates the thoracic neurohemal organ. The arborization at the dorsal median tract of the 3 pairs (one per segment) of Ap4 neurons overlaps and extends to the region between the first and second abdominal neuromeres (Benveniste et al., 1998; Marques et al., 2003; Santos et al., 2007). This neuron has been identified as neurosecretory because it expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide (FBgn0000715) and innervates a neurohemal organ (Benveniste et al., 1998; Marques et al., 2003; Santos et al., 2007).
