subcortical astrocyte (Mmus)
subcortical astrocyte (mmus)
A transcriptomically defined type of astrocyte located predominantly in the ventral and posterior subcortical areas.   It is distinguished from other cells in the brain by selective expression of Aqp4 (Mmus), Cd38 (Mmus), Agt (Mmus), Itih3 (Mmus). Reference transcriptomic data for this type can be found in the dataset/taxonomy - Yao et al. (2023), Whole Mouse Brain in cell set Subclass:318 Astro-NT NN.
