author keywords: MIST1; Paneth Cells; Intermediate Cells
MeSH headings : Animals; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors / biosynthesis; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors / genetics; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors / metabolism; Cell Differentiation / physiology; Cell Division / physiology; Cell Lineage; Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress; Endoplasmic Reticulum, Rough / physiology; Epithelium / metabolism; Female; Intestinal Mucosa / metabolism; Intestine, Small / physiology; Intestines / physiology; Mice; Mice, Knockout; Paneth Cells / metabolism; Paneth Cells / physiology; Signal Transduction; Stem Cells / cytology; Stem Cells / metabolism; Transcriptome
TL;DR: MIST1 plays an important role in organization of the Paneth cell secretory apparatus and managing endoplasmic reticulum stress, which occurs downstream ofPaneth cell lineage allocation. (via Semantic Scholar)

Paneth cells are professional secretory cells found within the small intestinal crypt epithelium. Although their role as part of the innate immune complex providing antimicrobial secretory products is well-known, the mechanisms that control secretory capacity are not well-understood. MIST1 is a scaling factor that is thought to control secretory capacity of exocrine cells.
