Our human intestinal pleatable enterocytes are primary epithelial cells derived from ethically sourced human small intestine tissue and cultured under conditions that promote robust attachment and long-term viability. These cells exhibit a strong ability to form uniform, tight, and functional monolayers—ideal for modeling intestinal barrier function in dynamic or high-throughput systems.

Designed for flexibility, pleatable enterocytes can be cultured on various coated surfaces or inserts to replicate physiological conditions of the intestinal lining. Each lot is validated by EpCAM expression to confirm epithelial purity and functional integrity. These cells are ideally suited for studies in nutrient absorption, drug permeability, metabolism, and gastrointestinal inflammation within both static and pleated culture formats.
