General Information
Term adult midgut enterocyte ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047182 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Specialized epithelial cell of the adult midgut. A large, polyploid, cuboidal or low-columnar epithelial cell with its nucleus in the middle and a mass of microvilli (brush border) on its apical surface. On its basal side, extensive infoldings of the plasma membrane form a labyrinth which fills the lower half of the cell. It is attached to adjacent enterocytes by smooth septate junctions.[ FlyBase:FBrf0007735 FlyBase:FBrf0139657 FlyBase:FBrf0191251 ]
Also Known As "adult midgut EC"
