brush border enzymes

border /bor·der/ (bor´der) a bounding line, edge, or surface.

brush border a specialization of the free surface of a cell, consisting of minute cylindrical processes (microvilli) that greatly increase the surface area.

vermilion border the exposed red portion of the upper and lower lips.

brush border

An epithelial cell surface consisting of microvilli, as on the cells of the proximal tubule of the kidney.

brush border,

microvilli on the free surfaces of certain epithelial cells, particularly the absorptive surfaces of the intestine and the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney.

Brush Border

A specialized portion of the free or apical aspect of certain epithelial cells—e.g., of the GI tract—consisting of closely packed microvilli that facilitate absorption; brush border cells line the luminal surface of the intestine and proximal convoluted tubules of the kidneys; the BB contains absorptive microvilli and glycocalyx—which is rich in hydrolytic enzymes

border [bor´der]

a bounding line, edge, or surface.

brush border a specialization of the free surface of a cell, consisting of minute cylindrical processes (microvilli) that greatly increase the surface area.

Brush border, characterized by closely packed microvilli. From Dorland's, 2000.

Physiology A specialized portion of the free or apical aspect of certain epithelial cells–eg, of the GI tract, consisting of closely packed microvilli that facilitate absorption; brush border cells line the luminal surface of the intestine and proximal convoluted tubules of the kidneys; the BB contains absorptive microvilli and glycocalyx–which is rich in hydrolytic enzymes
