All terms in UBERON

Label Id Description
chin UBERON_0008199 [A subdivision of the face that is the anteriormost part of the lower jaw region.]
nail plate UBERON_0008198 [The nail plate is the hard and translucent portion of the nail, composed of keratin.]
endoglin (human) PR_P17813 [An endoglin that is encoded in the genome of human.]
tarsometatarsus UBERON_0008195 [The tarsometatarsus is a bone that is found in the lower leg of certain tetrapods, namely birds. It is formed from the fusion of several bones found in other types of animals, and homologous to the mammalian tarsal (ankle) and metatarsal (pes) bones. Despite this, the tarsometatarsus of birds is often referred to as just the tarsus or metatarsus.]
tibiotarsus UBERON_0008194 [The tibiotarsus is the large bone between the femur and the tarsometatarsus in the leg of a bird. It is the fusion of the proximal part of the tarsus with the tibia. A similar structure also occurred in the Mesozoic Heterodontosauridae. These small ornithischian dinosaurs were unrelated to birds and the similarity of their pes bones is best explained by convergent evolution.]
hindlimb bone UBERON_0003464 [A bone that is part of a hindlimb region. Examples: any pes phalanx, femur. Counter-examples: ischium, pubis (they are part of the pelvic girdle).]
tendon of triceps brachii UBERON_0008192 [A tendon that attaches_to a triceps brachii.]
spinous cell CL_4052060 [A differentiating keratinocyte found in the epidermis and oral epithelium, located in the stratum spinosum, characterized by a spiny appearance due to abundant intercellular desmosomal junctions.]
nail matrix keratinocyte CL_4052064 [A keratinocyte that is part of the nail matrix epithelium, distinguished by its high proliferative capacity and its role in nail plate formation via onychokeratinization, a differentiation process that uniquely bypasses the formation of a granular layer, resulting in the production of hard, compact keratin. Unlike skin epidermal keratinocytes, this cell expresses a distinctive mix of hard (hair-type) and select epidermal keratins (Kitahara and Ogawa, 1993). In humans, LGR6 and WNT6 are enriched in the basal compartment, with LGR6 marking nail stem cells in both mice and humans, and exhibiting strong expression in the human proximal nail matrix (Kim et al., 2021).]
mucous acinar cell of salivary gland CL_4052066 [An acinar cell of the salivary gland, responsible for producing a viscous, mucin‐rich solution, thereby facilitating lubrication and protection of the oral mucosa. This cell is characterized by an elongated shape, clear cytoplasm filled with mucin granules, and a basally compressed nucleus (Barrows et al., 2020). In humans and mice, the mucous acinar cell predominates in the sublingual gland and minor salivary glands, while also being present in mixed glands such as the submandibular gland, where it coexists with serous acinar cells (Maruyama et al., 2019).]
acinar cell of salivary gland CL_0002623 [An acinar cell that is part of the salivary gland epithelium, responsible for synthesizing and secreting the primary saliva essential for oral digestion, antimicrobial defense, and mucosal immunity. It features apical-basal polarity with apical secretory granules, and tight junctions that maintain polarity and regulate calcium-dependent saliva exocytosis triggered by parasympathetic and sympathetic signals (Ambudkar, 2015). This cell functions in coordination with contractile myoepithelial cells, which aid saliva flow through the ducts into the oral cavity (Khan et al., 2022). In mice and humans, acinar cell development relies on the transcription factor SOX2 (Emmerson et al., 2017), with self-renewal achieved primarily through acinar cell self-duplication and supported by progenitor populations during injury and regeneration (Aure et al., 2016).]
serous acinar cell of salivary gland CL_4052065 [An acinar cell of the salivary gland, characterized by a pyramidal or triangular shape with a spherical nucleus and abundant eosinophilic zymogen granules. This cell secretes watery, enzyme‐rich fluid containing α-amylase, proline-rich proteins, and secretory immunoglobulins for starch digestion and antimicrobial defence. In humans and mice, serous acinar cell predominates in the parotid gland and to a lesser extent in the submandibular gland, where it exists alongside mucous acinar cells (Maruyama et al., 2019).]
tRNA import into nucleus GO_0035719 [The directed movement of tRNA from the cytoplasm to the nucleus.]
luminal epithelial cell of endometrium CL_4052050 [An epithelial cell that is part of an endometrium luminal epithelium.]
epithelial cell of uterus CL_0002149 [An epithelial cell of the uterus. This cell has a mesodermal origin.]
natural killer cell chemotaxis GO_0035747 [The directed movement of a natural killer cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis).]
Merkel cell of epidermis CL_4052058 [A Merkel cell found mainly in the basal layer of the epidermis and the outer root sheath of hair follicles, particularly concentrated in areas with high tactile acuity, such as touch domes, hair follicles, and fingertips.]
Merkel cell CL_0000242 [A specialized epithelial cell located in the skin epidermis and certain mucosal epithelia. It functions as a mechanoreceptor for light touch by forming synapse-like contacts with somatosensory afferent nerve endings, contributing to slowly adapting type I (SAI) tactile responses. Characterized by dense-core neuroendocrine granules, the Merkel cell exhibits both sensory and neuroendocrine properties, including regulated neurotransmitter release via SNARE complex-dependent mechanisms. Its development in mice depends on the transcription factor Atoh1.]
tuft cell of urethra CL_4052042 [A tuft cell that is part of the epithelium of the urethra. This cell monitors urethral contents by detecting chemical stimuli, such as bitter compounds and sugars. Upon activation, it stimulates sensory nerve fibres and triggers detrusor muscle contraction, likely aiding in pathogen clearance by promoting bladder emptying.]
hepatic stellate cell activation GO_0035733 [A change in the morphology or behavior of a hepatic stellate cell resulting from exposure to a cytokine, chemokine, hormone, cellular ligand or soluble factor.]
