NEURON CELL AND INTESTINAL CELL

I am an intestinal cell. I’m very influential – I was born to be a leader. My expressive genes easily manipulate other cell types. I communicate with you, a neural cell through apical junctions using a paracrine signaling cell-cell mechanism. I have an ability to express genes which encode proteins that pass through and reside in bipartite junctions. Apical junctions are comparative to the tripartite structures in vertebrate epithelia. The protein EGL8 (A phospholipase) is different and controls numerous functions in the nervous system. It has a role in oscillating Ca²⁺ signaling.
