|
intestinal cell proliferation variant
|
Any variation in the processes that govern the expansion of intestinal cell populations compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000103
|
gut granule development variant
|
Any variation in the progression of the different inclusions within the intestinal cytoplasm, including birefringent crystalline objects and other dark-staining endosomes over time compared to control. In C. elegans these contents might include glycogen granules (polysaccharide storage), rhabditin (carbohydrate storage), yolk granules (lipid and protein), and concentrated waste products (Wormatlas). |
WBPhenotype:0001831
|
intestinal microvilli variant
|
Any variation in the formation of intestinal microvilli. Microvilli are actin-based cellular structures that form plasma membrane projections into the extracellular space and whose specialized shape provides increased cellular surface area. Microvilli are a crucial component of the terminal differentiation process for many epithelial cell types, usually ones that play an absorptive or filtering role. |
