- SynonymsTerms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.
- TACs, transit amplifying progenitor cell, transit-amplifying cell, transient amplifying cell, TAC, TA
- CategoryClass of which the cell type is a subclass.
- epithelial cellCL:0000066
- Marker Gene EvidenceGene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
- KRT8, KRT18, OLFM4, EPCAM, MKI67
- Canonical Marker Genes
- PCNA, KRT5, KRT8, CCND1
- Rationale
- These are clear epithelial cells based on OLFM4, KRT, EPCAM expression, but they also express some proliferative markers like MKI67 compared to other epithelial cells, so we called them transit amplifying
