[colonocyte]
Colonocytes (colonic epithelial cells) are mature, non-dividing epithelial cells forming the colonic epithelium. These columnar epithelial cells belong to one of several epithelial cell lineages in the gastrointestinal tract, which differ from each other in morphology and function (Wright, 2000).
The epithelial cells lining villi and crypts are often referred to as enterocytes although the term colonic enterocytes is used also for colonocytes. Both cell types differ in their expression patterns, and some established cell lines may show features of both cell types (Engle et al, 1998). This may be a reflection of the life cycle of
