ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00110908 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Specialized cell of the adult midgut found in the anterior and middle midgut sections of region R3 (R3a and R3b, copper cell region). It secretes acid and accumulates copper. They show a distinct apical invagination, basally located nuclei, numerous mitochondria and a deeply invaginated apical membrane covered with long microvilli. Interstitial cells arch over the apex of the copper cell, forming a narrow channel that connects the apical invagination of the copper cell to the gut lumen. The highly folded area of apicolateral contact between copper and interstitial cells contains smooth septate junctions.[ FlyBase:FBrf0064792 FlyBase:FBrf0139611 FlyBase:FBrf0174753 FlyBase:FBrf0216495 FlyBase:FBrf0221749 FlyBase:FBrf0222542 FlyBase:FBrf0232530 ] |
