ZFIN Phenotype Statement: posterior lateral line immature Schwann cell egr2b expression decreased amount, abnormal

Phenotype:	posterior lateral line immature Schwann cell egr2b expression decreased amount, abnormal
Note:	This phenotype statement describes a gene expression or antibody labeling pattern. Anatomy terms are combined with a gene or antibody and phenotype quality.

EXPRESSION ANATOMY:

Name:	posterior lateral line
Synonyms:	midbody lateral line, midtrunk line, pll
Definition:	One of eight distinct lateral lines in the 4-day larva. The posterior lateral line runs along the horizontal myoseptum from the otic vessicle to the caudal fin. Lateral lines form a sensory system on the surface of the fish, consisting of small sensory patches (neuromasts) distributed in discrete lines over the body surface. The lateral line system is stimulated by local water displacements and vibrations, and detects propulsion of the fish through the water, as well as facilitating shoaling, prey capture, and predator and obstacle avoidance. (See Anatomical Atlas entry for lateral line by T. Whitfield.)

Name:	immature Schwann cell
Synonyms:
Definition:	A glial cell that develops from a Schwann cell precursor. The immature Schwann cell is embedded among neurons (axons) with minimal extracellular spaces separating them from nerve cell membranes and has a basal lamina. Cells can survive without an axon present. Immature Schwann cell can be found communally ensheathing large groups of axons.
