| Term |
adult epidermal F-cell of mechanosensory bristle |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00052645 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Adult epidermal cell that becomes associated with a mechanosensory chaeta (bristle) during pupal development (Mangione et al., 2023). It develops from the surrounding epidermis, rather than the sensory mother cell (Mangione et al., 2023). It is specified after the neuron and eo support cells are formed, in response to EGF signaling from the shaft (trichogen) cell (Mangione et al., 2023). It alters its morphology to wrap around the socket (tormogen) cell (Mangione et al., 2023). It is required for normal mechanotransduction (Mangione et al., 2023).[ FlyBase:FBrf0256245 ] |
| Comment |
Not clear from Mangione et al. (2023) whether present in other types of sensillum. |
