MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html). For more information about these ontologies, see the MGI Publications Page at http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/other/publications.shtml.

Term:decreased cementoblast number

Accession:MP:0030552 term browser browse the term
Definition:fewer than the expected number of the large cuboidal cells differentiated from fibroblasts of the dental follicle (or possibly from Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath cells by epithelial-mesenchymal transformation) that, during formation of cellular cementum, secrete a layer of unmineralized extracellular matrix called cementoid; as cementoid deposition progresses, some cementoblasts become embedded in cementoid matrix and become cementocytes
Synonyms:exact_synonym: reduced cementoblast number
