Club cell, the Glossary

Club cells, also known as bronchiolar exocrine cells, are low columnar/cuboidal cells with short microvilli, found in the small airways (bronchioles) of the lungs.^[1]

Bronchiole

The bronchioles or bronchioli (pronounced bron-kee-oh-lee) are the smaller branches of the bronchial airways in the lower respiratory tract. Club cell and bronchiole are lung anatomy.

CGMP-dependent protein kinase

cGMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase G (PKG) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that is activated by cGMP.

See Club cell and CGMP-dependent protein kinase

CYP4B1

Cytochrome P450 4B1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP4B1 gene.

See Club cell and CYP4B1

Cytochrome P450

Cytochromes P450 (P450s or CYPs) are a superfamily of enzymes containing heme as a cofactor that mostly, but not exclusively, function as monooxygenases.

Emphysema

Emphysema is any air-filled enlargement in the body's tissues.

Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a part of a transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding.

Epithelium

Epithelium or epithelial tissue is a thin, continuous, protective layer of compactly packed cells with little extracellular matrix.

Glycosaminoglycan

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides are long, linear polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units (i.e. two-sugar units).

Goblet cell

Goblet cells are simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete gel-forming mucins, like mucin 2 in the lower gastrointestinal tract, and mucin 5AC in the respiratory tract. Club cell and Goblet cell are human cells.

Golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells.

Hemagglutinin

In molecular biology, hemagglutinins (alternatively spelt haemagglutinin, from the Greek haima, 'blood' + Latin gluten, 'glue') are receptor-binding membrane fusion glycoproteins produced by viruses in the Paramyxoviridae and Orthomyxoviridae families.

HIKESHI

HIKESHI is a protein important in lung and multicellular organismal development that, in humans, is encoded by the HIKESHI gene.

Lumen (anatomy)

In biology, a lumen (lumina) is the inside space of a tubular structure, such as an artery or intestine.

Microvillus

Microvilli (microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area for diffusion and minimize any increase in volume, and are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechanotransduction.
