This cell type also contributes to tissue repair and can differentiate after injury into a pulmonary alveolar type 1 cell. This cuboidal cell is thicker than squamous alveolar cells, has a rounded apical surface that projects above the level of the surrounding epithelium, and its free surface is covered by short microvilli. type II alveolar epithelial cell type 2 alveolar epithelial cell type 2 alveolocyte great alveolar cell type II alveolocyte The marker set SFTPA1 can identify the Human cell type pulmonary alveolar type 2 cell in the lung with a confidence of 0.95 (NS-Forest FBeta value).
