3L cells are open-type endocrine cells — their apical surface is exposed directly to the intestinal lumen, allowing direct contact with nutrients and bacterial metabolites. This arrangement is in contrast to closed-type endocrine cells, which do not face the lumen. The L-cell lineage differentiates from intestinal stem cells under the influence of specific transcription factors including neurogenic regulatory elements.{{r|furness2013}}3L cells are open-type endocrine cells — their apical surface is exposed directly to the intestinal lumen, allowing direct contact with nutrients and bacterial metabolites.

+5L cells are sparse in the duodenum and jejunum but become progressively more frequent in the ileum, where they account for approximately 1% of epithelial cells. They are most abundant in the distal ileum and right colon, positions that allow them to sense the end products of colonic bacterial fermentation, particularly short-chain fatty acids.{{r|holst2007}}

6L cells are polarised epithelial cells with microvilli on the apical surface and secretory granules in the basolateral cytoplasm. The apical surface, open to the lumen, serves as the nutrient-sensing compartment; the basolateral surface contains receptors and ion channels that relay signals to the secretory machinery. L cells represent approximately 0.5–1% of all intestinal epithelial cells overall but are far more frequent in the ileum and colon than the duodenum.{{r|furness2013}}8L cells are polarised epithelial cells with microvilli on the apical surface and secretory granules in the basolateral cytoplasm.
