- SynonymsTerms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.
- unknown
- CategoryClass of which the cell type is a subclass.
- epithelial cellCL:0000066
- Marker Gene EvidenceGene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
- REG1A, REG1B, LCN2, SPINK1, REG3G, KRT18
- Canonical Marker Genes
- ALPI, MUC2, TFF3, CHGA, SYP, LYZ, DEFA5
- Rationale
- These are epithelial cells based. onKRT18 expression and they are not clearly fitting into goblet, EEC, paneth, or other specific secretory cell subsets, but they are high in SPINK1, REG1A/B, and LCN2. LCN2 and SPINK1 are secreted enzymes
