| Phenotype: | midbrain pericyte mcamb 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: | midbrain |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | mesencephalon |
| Definition: | The brain region between the forebrain anteriorly and the hindbrain posteriorly, including the tectum dorsally and the midbrain tegmentum ventrally. |

| Name: | pericyte |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | pericytes, perivascular cells |
| Definition: | An elongated, contractile cell found wrapped about precapillary arterioles outside the basement membrane. Pericytes are present in capillaries where proper adventitial and muscle layer are missing (thus distinguishing this cell type from adventitial cells). They are relatively undifferentiated and may become fibroblasts, macrophages, or smooth muscle cells. |
