General Information
Term peritrophic membrane ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003142 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Non-cellular matrix composed of chitin and glycoprotein secreted into the lumen of the proventriculus (cardia), between the outer and intermediate layers by a group of cells in the anterior proventriculus. It covers the luminal side of the midgut posterior to the proventriculus, separating the midgut epithelial cells from the gut contents. It can be divided into 4 distinct layers in the proventriculus and 2 layers in the midgut.[ FlyBase:FBrf0048518 FlyBase:FBrf0064792 FlyBase:FBrf0223413 ]
Also Known As "peritrophic matrix"
