Term ID

GO:0035842

Synonyms

• post-NETO old cell end
• post-NETO old cell tip
• post-new end take-off old cell tip

Definition

A cell tip which has existed for at least one complete cell cycle, and at which polarized growth occurs, which is part of a cell that has activated bipolar cell growth (i.e. in which new end take-off, NETO, has taken place). For example, in fission yeast the cell end that existed prior to cell division grows immediately after division, and contains a distinctive complement of proteins including actin cytoskeletal structures.
