Name: lens epithelium
Synonyms:
Definition: Epithelium which borders the anterior and equitorial region of the lens. Lens growth in zebrafish occurs via the differentiation of additional fibre cells from lens epithelial cells.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0001326]
Name: adherens junction
Synonyms: cell-cell adherens junction
Definition: A cell-cell junction composed of the epithelial cadherin-catenin complex. The epithelial cadherins, or E-cadherins, of each interacting cell extend through the plasma membrane into the extracellular space and bind to each other. The E-cadherins bind to catenins on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, where the E-cadherin-catenin complex binds to cytoskeletal components and regulatory and signaling molecules.

Name: mislocalised
Synonyms: ectopic, mislocalized
Definition: A positional quality inhering in a bearer by virtue the bearer's being changed in abnormal position.
