embryonic/larval copper cell

Cell Larva
Specialized cell of the larval midgut. It secretes acid and accumulates copper. It shows a distinct apical invagination, with an opening to the lumen. The invagination is flask shaped in the posteriormost copper cells with a narrow opening, while anteriormost copper cells are beaker shaped and their opening to the lumen is larger. (Skaer, 1993, Buchon et al., 2013, Dubreuil et al., 2001, Dubreuil et al., 1998)
