adult class II enteroendocrine cell [FBbt_00110036]

Enteroendocrine cell of the midgut that expresses Tachykinin (FBgn0037976). These cells have an elongated shape, often spanning the gut epithelium, similar to the morphology of other midgut endocrine cells. They are found throughout the midgut except for a medial domain. They co-express different other hormones depending on their exact localization (Chen et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2019).
