General Information
Term Malpighian tubule tip cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00005795 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Cell at the distal tip of each Malpighian tubule. It is involved in tube elongation in embryogenesis by stimulating cell proliferation in neighboring cells and in positioning the tubules.[ FlyBase:FBrf0050653 FlyBase:FBrf0075100 FlyBase:FBrf0222532 ]
