Claudin-9 constitutes tight junctions of folliculo-stellate cells in the anterior pituitary gland
Abstract The anterior pituitary gland regulates growth, metabolism, and reproduction by secreting hormones. Folliculo-stellate (FS) cells are non-endocrine cells located among hormone-producing cells in the anterior pituitary glands. They form follicular lumens, which are sealed by tight junctions (...
