Name:	intestinal epithelium
Synonyms:	intestine epithelium, villous epithelium
Definition:	Simple columnar epithelium that lines the intestine, sometimes pseudostratified, with absorptive brush-border cells and mucous goblet cells clearly visible.
Ontology:	Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0005124]

Name:	protein O-linked glycosylation via N-acetylgalactosamine
Synonyms:	core O-glycan biosynthetic process, mucin-type O-glycan synthesis, O-glycan processing, protein O-linked GalNAcylation, protein O-linked glycosylation via N-acetyl-galactosamine
Definition:	A glycoprotein biosynthetic process starting with the covalent linkage of an N-acetyl-galactosamine via an alpha-glycosidic bond to the oxygen atom of a serine or threonine side chain in a protein, which can be further elongated with the sequential addition of sugar units resulting in the formation of a protein O-linked glycan.
