Abstract
Gap junctions were observed by EM on the lateral plasma membrane of the typical thyroid epithelial cell in freeze-fracture preparations of rat thyroid gland. The gap junctions were 0.1 to 0.4 .mu.m in diameter and were composed of closely packed, approximately 80 nm particles. They were located from 1 to 6 .mu.m from the apical surface of the cell.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
