Sulfated glycoprotein‐2 synthesized by nonciliated cells of the efferent ducts is targeted to the lysosomal compartment
Abstract
The epithelial nonciliated cells of the efferent ducts are specialized in internalizing many luminal substances. The nonciliated cells actively endocytose sulfated glycoprotein-2 (SGP-2), a major secretory protein of Sertoli cells and a homologue of human apolipoprotein J. This study was undertaken to investigate the internalization of Sertoli-derived SGP-2 and synthesis of an endogenous efferent duct form of SGP-2 by nonciliated cells targeted …
