Microvillar channels: a unique plasma membrane compartment for concentrating lipoproteins on the surface of rat adrenal cortical cells.

Electron microscopic studies of perfused rat adrenals indicate that plasma lipoproteins become concentrated in a specialized cell surface compartment called microvillar channels. Closely associated plasma membranes of sinusoidal microvilli of zona fasciculata cells form channels that normally are fi...
