embryonic peripheral glial cell 8

ID: FBbt_00110111

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. (von Hilchen et al., 2008, von Hilchen et al., 2013)

The 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.
