A transit amplifying cell of the gut epithelium, located in the wall of the intestinal crypt, just above intestinal stem cells from which they derive. These are rapidly dividing cells, capable of multiple rounds of division before differentiating into the various cell types of the gut epithelium (enterocyte, goblet, eneterodendocrine, paneth cells).
