Fallopian tube secretory epithelial cell
CL:4030006
An epithelial cell that is part of the fallopian tube that secretes mucus and oviduct-specific products in response to hormonal stimulation from estrogen and luteinizing hormone. This fallopian tube secretory cell is similar in height to the ciliated cell, but typically exhibits a more narrow, columnar shape. Its nucleus is ovoid and oriented perpendicular to the cell's long axis, with denser chromatin and a smaller nucleolus compared to the ciliated cell.
