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 liver sinusoidal endothelial cell morphology

Accession:MP:0031148 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of the endothelial cells that line the hepatic sinusoids, constituting the sinusoidal wall; these represent the most abundant non-parenchymal hepatic cell population, are characterized by the presence of fenestrae clustered in sieve plates and lacking a basement membrane, play roles in filtration, endocytosis, antigen presentation and leukocyte recruitment, and in combination with Kupffer cells, constitute a scavenger system in the body
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal HSEC morphology;   abnormal LSEC morphology;   abnormal hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell morphology
