| Name: | lysosome-rich enterocyte |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | Enterocytes that possess a large supranuclear vacuolar system that preferentially internalize dietary protein via receptor-mediated and fluid-phase endocytosis for intracellular digestion and trans-cellular transport. In zebrafish these cells are located in the posterior region of the mid intestine throughout life. In mammals they are found in the ileum pre-weaning and later are replaced by mature enterocytes . |

| Name: | subapical part of cell |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | subapical region of cell |
| Definition: | The region of a polarized cell that is just below the apical region. For example, in a polarized epithelial cell, the apical region has an exposed surface and lies opposite to the basal lamina that separates the epithelium from other tissue so the subapical region is further from the exposed surface and closer to the basal lamina. |
