Descriptor English: Cell Polarity
Descriptor Spanish: Polaridad Celular
Descriptor polaridad celular
Scope note: Orientación de las estructuras intracelulares especialmente con respecto a los dominios apical y basolaterales de la membrana plasmática. Las células polarizadas dirigen las proteínas desde el aparato de Golgi al dominio apropiado ya que las uniones estrechas evitan que las proteínas difundan entre dos dominios.

Tree number(s): G04.250
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016764
Scope note: Orientation of intracellular structures especially with respect to the apical and basolateral domains of the plasma membrane. Polarized cells must direct proteins from the Golgi apparatus to the appropriate domain since tight junctions prevent proteins from diffusing between the two domains.
