Late luteal cell
CL:4052047
A luteal cell that is part of the older, regressing corpus luteum. This cell exhibits increased expression of genes involved in progesterone metabolism - Akr1c18 in mice (Lan et al., 2024), cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. A late luteal cell contributes to corpus luteum regression and eventual clearance from the ovary through luteolysis.
