General Information
Term embryonic/larval ensheathing glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047837 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Ensheathing glial cell of the larva. There are approximately 112 of these cells in the third instar central nervous system (Pogodalla et al., 2021). Some of these cells are polyploid, but others can undergo cell division during the pupal stage to generate adult glia (Kato et al., 2020).[ FlyBase:FBrf0214261 FlyBase:FBrf0229106 FlyBase:FBrf0239943 FlyBase:FBrf0251788 ]
Also Known As"embryonic/larval ensheathing neuropil associated glial cell" ; "L-EG" ; "larval pEG" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
