General Information
Term epithelial cell type specification, open tracheal system ID (Ontology) GO:0035153 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Allocation of epithelial cells within each migrating branch in an open tracheal system to distinct tracheal cell fates. During the migration phase each branch forms a well-defined number of cell types (including fusion cells, terminal cells and branch cells) at precise positions.[ PubMed:10684581 PubMed:11063940 ]
Also Known As"tracheal epithelial cell type specification"
