(Cell Significance Index is uniquely calculated using our advanced thresholding algorithms to reveal cell-specific gene markers.)

Description: An elongated, contractile cell found wrapped about precapillary arterioles outside the basement membrane. Pericytes are present in capillaries where proper adventitia and muscle layer are missing (thus distingushing this cell type from adventitial cells). They are relatively undifferentiated and may become fibroblasts, macrophages, or smooth muscle cells.

Synonyms: ARC, adventitial reticular cell, cell of Rouget, pericyte cell, pericyte of Rouget, adventitial cell
