2. Brush border - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_border

   Brush border cells are found mainly in the following organs: The small intestine tract: This is where absorption takes place. [2] [3] [4] The brush borders of the intestinal lining are the site of terminal carbohydrate digestions. The microvilli that constitute the brush border have enzymes for this final part of digestion anchored into their ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachyspira_pilosicoli

   Brachyspira pilosicoli is a gram-negative, anaerobic, host-associated spirochete that colonizes the intestinal tract of animals and humans. [2] [3] It appears as a characteristic "false brush border" due to its end-on attachment to enterocytes of the colon where it interferes with intestinal absorption. [4]

4. Enterocyte - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterocyte

   Enterocytes, or intestinal absorptive cells, are simple columnar epithelial cells which line the inner surface of the small and large intestines. A glycocalyx surface coat contains digestive enzymes. Microvilli on the apical surface increase its surface area.

   These are found in the lining sections of the gastrointestinal tract (inner lining of oesophagus, stomach, etc.) and may be brush bordered. Vertical section of a villus from the dog's small intestine.

6. Gastrointestinal tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_tract

   The lower gastrointestinal tract includes most of the small intestine and all of the large intestine. [15] In human anatomy , the intestine ( bowel or gut ; Greek: éntera ) is the segment of the gastrointestinal tract extending from the pyloric sphincter of the stomach to the anus and as in other mammals, consists of two segments: the small ...

7. Enteropeptidase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteropeptidase

   [1] [2] Absence of enteropeptidase results in intestinal digestion impairment. [3] Enteropeptidase is a serine protease (EC 3.4.21.9) consisting of a disulfide-linked heavy-chain of 82-140 kDa that anchors enterokinase in the intestinal brush border membrane and a light-chain of 35–62 kDa that contains the catalytic subunit.
