Molecular identification and differential expression of sensory neuron membrane proteins in the antennae of the black cutworm moth Agrotis ipsilon

► AipsSNMP1-2 transcripts were highly expressed in antennae of both sexes. ► The expression levels of AipsSNMP1-2 were regulated by developmental stages. ► Mating status had no effect on the expression levels of AipsSNMP1-2 transcripts. ► AipsSNMP1-2 proteins are expressed in pheromone-sensitive sensilla trichodea.
