Planteome: Term Details for "NK T cell differentiation" (GO:0001865)

Accession: GO:0001865
Name: NK T cell differentiation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: NK T lymphocyte differentiation, NK T-cell differentiation, NK T-lymphocyte differentiation, NKT cell differentiation, NT cell differentiation, natural T cell differentiation, natural killer T cell differentiation, NK T cell development
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process in which a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of a NK T cell. Source: PMID:10704459, ISBN:0781735149, GOC:add
Comment: Note that NK T cells are a distinct lineage of T cells expressing natural killer cell markers and having T cell receptors characterized by the usage of a restricted repertoire of variable region gene segments. Note that immunologists typically use the word 'development' to refer to cells of B or T cell lineages undergoing the process that GO describes as 'cell differentiation'.
