mesenterialine
Mesenterialine is a term that appears in a small subset of discussions about mesenteric biology to denote a putative signaling molecule associated with the mesentery, the tissue that suspends the intestines within the abdomen. There is no universally accepted definition, chemical identity, or physiological function for mesenterialine in peer-reviewed literature.
Origin and usage: The coinage blends the root mesenteri- with the suffix -line, but it is not
Proposed roles: In speculative accounts, mesenterialine has been described as a regulator of mesenteric vascular development,
Status and reception: Because there is no robust experimental evidence, mesenterialine is generally treated as an
Further investigation would be required to establish whether mesenterialine represents a real molecular entity, an experimental
