Label	Id	Description
Boettcher cell	CL_0002084	[A Boettcher cell is a polyhedral cells on the basilar membrane of the cochlea, and is located beneath Claudius cells. A Boettcher cell is considered a supporting cell for the organ of Corti, and is present only in the lower turn of the cochlea. These cells interweave with each other, and project microvilli into the intercellular space. Because of their structural specialization, a Boettcher cell is believed to play a significant role in the function of the cochlea. They demonstrate high levels of calmodulin, and may be involved in mediating Ca(2+) regulation and ion transport.]
tanycyte	CL_0002085	[Specialized elongated ventricular ependymal cell that has processes that extend to the outer, or pial, surface of the CNS. Resemble spongioblasts seen in developing brain. Found in the adult brain in the third ventricle, cerebral aqueduct, spinal canal and floor of the fourth ventricle.]
tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type substrate 1 (human)	PR_P78324	[A tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type substrate 1 that is encoded in the genome of human.]
pancreatic centro-acinar cell	CL_0002080	[A cubodial epithelial cell that is continuous with the lining of intercalated ducts that drain the acinus. This cell type secretes a high pH solution to aid in activation of zymogens, and can differentiate into endocrine and exocrine pancreatic cell types.]
ANPEP (chicken)	395667	[A protein coding gene ANPEP in chicken.]
type II cell of carotid body	CL_0002081	[This cell resembles a glia cell, express the glial marker S100 and act as a supporting cell to type I cell. This cell is located in a small cluster of type I and type II cells near the fork of the carotid artery.]
supporting cell of carotid body	CL_0002256	[A supportive cell that has characteristics of glial cell. Processes of this cell envelope the junctions between glomus cells and nerve endings.]
type II cell of adrenal medulla	CL_0002082	[A chromaffin cell of the adrenal medulla that produces epinephrine.]
interlobar vein	UBERON_0009887	[The interlobar veins are veins of the renal circulation which drain the renal lobes.]
type I cell of adrenal medulla	CL_0002083	[A chromaffin cell of the adrenal medulla that produces norepinephrine.]
polar body	CL_0002090	[One of two small cells formed by the first and second meiotic division of oocytes.]
chemokine receptor (chicken)	PR_G4U4M4	[A C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5 that is encoded in the genome of chicken.]
type I cell of adrenal cortex	CL_0002099	[A small, polyhedral, cell found in rounded groups or curved columns with deeply staining nuclei, scanty basophilic cytoplasm and a few lipid droplets. This cell in the zona glomerulosa produces mineralocorticoids.]
cortical cell of adrenal gland	CL_0002097	[A cell of the adrenal cortex. Cell types include those that synthesize and secrete chemical derivatives (steroids) of cholesterol.]
hilus cell of ovary	CL_0002095	[A cell in the hilum of the ovary that produces androgens.]
internodal tract	UBERON_0009966	[A conducting pathway in the conducting tissue of heart through which electrical activity spreads from the SA node to the AV node.]
regular cardiac myocyte	CL_0002098	[A cardiac myocyte that is connected to other cardiac myocytes by transverse intercalated discs (GO:0014704) at a regular interval.]
primary polar body	CL_0002091	[A small cell formed by the first meiotic division of oocytes.]
secondary polar body	CL_0002093	[A small cell formed by the second meiotic division of oocytes. In mammals, the second polar body may fail to form unless the ovum has been penetrated by a sperm cell.]
interstitial cell of ovary	CL_0002094	[A cell that makes up the loose connective tissue of the ovary.]
