Description: An enterocyte (absorptive epithelial cell) of the colonic epithelium, characterized by a columnar shape. This cell is responsible for the absorption, transport, and metabolization of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by gut bacteria, as well as the transport and absorption of water and electrolytes.

Synonyms: enterocyte of colon, vacuolar absorptive cell of epithelium of colon
