General Information
Term enterocyte of posterior adult midgut epithelium ID (Ontology) FBbt:00007037 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A large, polyploid, cuboidal or low-columnar epithelial cell of the adult posterior midgut. It has its nucleus in the middle and a mass of microvilli (brush border) on its apical surface. On its basal side, extensive infoldings of the plasma membrane form a labyrinth which fills the lower half of the cell. It is attached to adjacent enterocytes by smooth septate junctions.[ FlyBase:FBrf0007735 FlyBase:FBrf0139657 FlyBase:FBrf0191251 FlyBase:FBrf0244662 ]
Also Known As "pEC"
