Hillock cell (mouse airway)

Stratified squamous-like epithelial structures in the mouse trachea composed of basal and luminal cells expressing KRT4/KRT13.

Synonymes : Hillock basal cell, Hillock luminal cell

Tissus : trachea

Cell Ontology : hillock cell · CL:4030024 (correspondance exacte) — An epithelial, transitional cell type between basal and secretory; located in stratified, non-ciliated structures (called hillocks) with high cell turnover in epithelium. In some mammalian species, this cell type has been noted to express KRT13 and is postulated to play a role in squamous barrier function and immunomodulation.
