Intercellular junctions and the permeability barrier in human sebaceous glands

N Kitson et al. Br J Dermatol. 1984 May.

Abstract

Human sebaceous glands were studied by electron microscopy using lanthanum tracer and freeze-fracture methods. Gap junctions but no tight junctions were found. It is suggested that the essential permeability barrier may be formed by the secreted sebaceous neutral lipid.
