Actin-related intercellular adhesion junctions in vertebrate Sertoli cells

In the eutherian mammal seminiferous epithelium, the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells adjacent to certain regions of intercellular attachment exhibits unusual structural complexes. At these sites, a layer of non-contractile, hexagonally packed actin filaments is positioned between the Sertoli cell plas...
