MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html). For more information about these ontologies, see the MGI Publications Page at http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/other/publications.shtml.

Term:abnormal uterine NK cell morphology
go back to main search page
Accession:MP:0008054 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of a natural killer cell subset that is found in the decidual of the uterus, is CD56-high, Galectin-1-positive and CD16-negative, and is the most abundant immune cell type in the decidual during the first trimester of pregnancy
Comment:Granulated metrial gland cells are found in rodents and other species, but not in primates. The human equivalent of these cells has been described as uterine NK-cells, endometrial granulocytes or K cells.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal GMG cell morphology;   abnormal dNK cell morphology;   abnormal decidual NK cell morphology;   abnormal decidual natural killer cell morphology;   abnormal granulated metrial gland cell morphology;   abnormal uNK cell morphology;   abnormal uterine natural killer cell morphology
 xref: CL:0002343
