The diversity and function of enteric glia are not known in detail. Enteric glia were very abundant in our dataset (91% of all enteric cells) and almost as diverse as enteric neurons, with seven distinct types. One type (ENTG1) was proliferating (expressing Top2a) and could represent a progenitor type. Intriguingly, some enteric glia expressed the vesicular monoamine transporter Slc18a2 (Figure S3B), which otherwise loads monoamine neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles in neurons.
