Term

enteroendocrine cell differentiation

ID (Ontology)

GO:0035883 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized structural and/or functional features of an enteroendocrine cell. Enteroendocrine cells are hormonally active epithelial cells in the gut that constitute the diffuse neuroendocrine system.
