High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 11-cis-Vaccenyl acetate (cVA) is a volatile chemical compound that acts as a pheromone in Drosophila. It is the acetate ester of vaccenyl alcohol. The odorant receptor subunit Or67d was shown to be necessary and sufficient for detection of cVA. Males that are mutant for Or67d start courting other males, whereas females that lack Or67d become less receptive towards males courting them. The sensory neurons expressing Or67d send projections to the glomerulus DA1.
