Description: A multipotent progenitor cell that develops from a migratory neural crest cell. The schwann cell precursor is embedded among axons, with minimal extracellular space separating them from nerve cell membranes. This cell lacks a basal lamina, which distinguishes it from more mature Schwann cells. In rodents, cadherin-19 (Cdh19) serves as a specific marker for this developmental stage.

Synonyms: Schwann cell precursor cell, SCP
