Gap Junctions in Exocrine Glands
1990In exocrine glands, the different cells of an acinus are associated by junctional complexes including, in addition to gap junctions, tight junctions and zonulae adherentes. The membrane-differentiation characteristics of gap junctions have been observed in pancreatic acini (Friend and Gilula 1972; Meda et al. 1983) and salivary glands (Kater and Galvin

Exocrine glands and protein secretion: a stereological viewpoint
Journal of Microscopy, 1983SUMMARYThe exocrine pancreas and the parotid salivary gland have been widely used as models for studying the synthesis, intracellular transport and discharge of exportable proteins. This article briefly reviews quantitative morphological (stereological) studies which have been made of these glands and assesses their contribution to our understanding of

Calcium signalling in exocrine glands.
European journal of morphology, 1999In exocrine gland cells, stimulation of a variety of surface receptors initiates a Ca2+ signalling system through activation of a polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. One product of phospholipase C activity, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate ((1,4,5)IP3), signals the release of intracellular Ca2+. Release of intracellular Ca2+ is followed by entry
