General Information
Term enteroendocrine cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00007038 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Diploid endocrine cell which is part of the adult or larval midgut epithelium.[ FlyBase:FBrf0191251 FlyBase:FBrf0207758 FlyBase:FBrf0227510 ]
Also Known As "ee"
Comment These cells can be identified by expression of prospero in the adult (Zeng and Hou, 2015) and larval (Mathur et al., 2010 - FBrf0209706) gut.
