embryonic peripheral glial cell 6

ID: FBbt_00110109

Embryonic peripheral glial cell associated with the intersegmental nerve (ISN) and located laterally to ePG5. It develops from neuroblast 2-5 (von Hilchen et al., 2008 and gives rise to a perineurial glial cell (von Hilchen et al., 2013. (von Hilchen et al., 2013, von Hilchen et al., 2008)

The position of the cell body of ePG6 is somewhat variable: it is found at its position 87% of the time. Sometimes, it can be found at the positions of ePG5 (4%) or ePG7 (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 ePG6 from ePG8 without taking into account the position of the cell body (von Hilchen et al., 2008.
