Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.- unknown
Category
Class of which the cell type is a subclass.- enterocyteCL:0000584
Ontology Assessment
Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.- Since absorptive epithelial cells lay on a continuum, it's not clear if or how we should have subdivisions of epithelial subtypes. We argue it could be useful for high-res compositional analysis to have some type of subdivision.
Rationale
- Enterocytes which have developed into absorptive lineage from TA and progenitor subtypes first express ANPEP, ALDOB, and other enzymes
