Freeze-fracture electron microscopy has been used to search for reflexive gap junctions on apical projections of uterine epithelial cells in the rat. These structures were found in 5 of 6 animals in the study and consisted of from 15 to over 70 intramembranous particles which ranged in size from 7 to 9 nm. Some suggestions on the function of these enigmatic junctions are discussed.
冷冻断裂电子显微镜已被用于在大鼠子宫上皮细胞的顶端突起上寻找自反性间隙连接。在该研究的6只动物中有5只发现了这些结构,它们由15至70多个膜内颗粒组成,颗粒大小在7至9纳米之间。文中讨论了关于这些神秘连接功能的一些推测。
