Term Information

Accession: GO:0035990
Name: tendon cell differentiation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: muscle attachment cell differentiation, tenocyte differentiation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a tendon cell. Tendon cell are elongated fibrocytes in which the cytoplasm is stretched between the collagen fibres of the tendon. Tendon cells have a central cell nucleus with a prominent nucleolus, a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, and are responsible for synthesis and turnover of tendon fibres and ground substance.
