Marker Gene Evidence

Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.

MMRN1, ADGRG6, PKHD1L1, POSTN

Canonical Marker Genes

ACKR1

Rationale

Compared with vein endothelial cell, this endothelial cell of venule sub-class is annotated by relatively lower expression of the markers MMRN1, ADGRG6 and PKHD1L1 and almost no expression of POSTN

Inherited from author_cell_type
