• Pattern: GFP::WSP-1A is specifically localized in the socket cells but is barely detectable in the cilia or the sheath cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr15180

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
An interfacial epithelial cell which forms a distal cap on a sheath cell to bind the sheath of a sensillum to the neighboring hypodermis, via adherens junctions. There is often a narrow opening through the socket from the exterior into the sheath channel, allowing ciliated dendrites to be exposed to the external environment. The socket cell functions similarly to a glial cell.	socket cell		WBbt:0005750
