esophageal epithelium

Foxp1 is also an important gene in muscle development of the esophagus and esophageal epithelium.

The adult form of G. ingluvicola resides in esophageal epithelium.

G. ingluvicola is commonly recognized in the esophageal epithelium of birds such as chickens, turkeys and pigeons.

In amphibians, sharks and rays, the esophageal epithelium is ciliated, helping to wash food along, in addition to the action of muscular peristalsis.

It has been shown that the protein AGR2 is elevated in Barrett esophagus, and can be used as a biomarker for distinguishing Barrett epithelium from normal esophageal epithelium.
