General Information
Term embryonic peripheral glial cell 8 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110111 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Embryonic peripheral glial cell associated with the intersegmental nerve (ISN) laterally to ePG7. It develops from neuroblast 2-5 (von Hilchen et al., 2008) and gives rise to a perineurial glial cell (von Hilchen et al., 2013).[ FlyBase:FBrf0204826 FlyBase:FBrf0222452 ]
Also Known As"ePG8"
CommentThe position of the cell body of ePG8 is variable: it is found at its position 70% of the time. It can also be found at the positions of ePG7 (21%) or ePG9 (9%). This analysis was done using specific cell markers and taking into account which nerve the cell is associated with. However, it is not possible to distinguish ePG8 from ePG6 without taking into account the position of the cell body (von Hilchen et al., 2008).
