Details for anatomical structure: large intestine

EndoNet ID: ENC00221

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Secreted hormones

  • Hormone: urocortin-3

    • Ucn 3 expression is examined in the normal human large intestine. [1]
  • Hormone: neuromedin B

  • Hormone: SFRP1

  • Hormone: gremlin-1

  • Hormone: laminin alpha-4 chain

  • Hormone: APOC1

  • Hormone: APOD

  • Hormone: RELMbeta

Receptors

  • Receptor: PPARgamma1

    • PPARγ1 had the broadest tissue expression(...)PPARγ1 mRNA was found in the heart, large and small intestines, colon, kidney, pancreas, spleen and skeletal muscle. [2]
  • Receptor: CaSR

  • Receptor: EP4

  • Receptor: frizzled 2

  • Receptor: LXR-alpha

  • Receptor: PPAR beta/delta

    • A study with human tissues showed that PPARä was present in liver, intestine, kidney, abdominal adipose, and skeletal muscle, tissues that are all involved in aspects of lipid metabolism [2]
