General Information
Term copper cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00005782 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Large cell in the middle region of the midgut that is cup-shaped with long microvilli. These cells accumulate copper and secrete acid.[ FlyBase:FBrf0064792 FlyBase:FBrf0100557 FlyBase:FBrf0139611 FlyBase:FBrf0174753 ]
Also Known As "cuprophilic cell"
Comment These cells can be distinguished from other enterocytes by their strong expression of labial in the larval and adult gut (Dubreuil et al., 2001).
