adult peritracheal PM cell [FBbt_00006018]

Neuropeptide-expressing cell located on the adult trachea. Non-neuropeptide-expressing peritracheal cells, as found in the larva, were not identified in the adult. They are more variably distributed than their larval equivalents and are not always found at branchpoints.

Adult Cell

Neuropeptide-expressing cell located on the adult trachea. Non-neuropeptide-expressing peritracheal cells, as found in the larva, were not identified in the adult. They are more variably distributed than their larval equivalents and are not always found at branchpoints.

Based on frequent reporter gene analysis during metamorphosis, these are thought to develop from the larval peritracheal PM cells (O'Brien and Taghert, 1998). Myomodulin-like neuropeptide(s) were detected in these cells before, but not during, eclosion using an antibody against molluscan myomodulin (O'Brien and Taghert, 1998).
