In these tissues, the peritubular walls represent lamellar encasement structures wrapped around the seminiferous tubules as a bandage system of extracellular matrix layers, alternating with monolayers of very flat polyhedral 'lamellar smooth muscle cells' (LSMCs), the number of which varies in different species from 1 to 5 or 6. These LSMCs are complete SMCs containing smooth muscle α-actin (SMA), myosin light and heavy chains, α-actinin, tropomyosin, smoothelin, intermediate-sized filament proteins desmin and/or vimentin, filamin, talin, dystrophin, caldesmon, calponin, and protein SM22α, often also cytokeratins 8 and 18. In the monolayers, the LSMCs are connected by adherens junctions (AJs) based on cadherin-11, in some species also with P-cadherin and/or E-cadherin, which are anchored in cytoplasmic plaques containing β-catenin and other armadillo proteins, in some species also striatin family proteins, protein myozap and/or LUMA. The LSMC cytoplasm is rich in myofilament bundles, which in many regions are packed in paracrystalline arrays, as well as in 'dense bodies,' 'focal adhesions,' and caveolae. In addition to some AJ-like end-on-end contacts, the LSMCs are laterally connected by numerous vertical AJ-like junctions located in variously sized and variously shaped, overlapping (alter super alterum) lamelliform cell protrusions. Consequently, the LSMCs of the peritubular wall monolayers are SMCs sensu stricto which are laterally connected by a novel architectonic system of arrays of vertical AJs located in overlapping cell protrusions. 000142958 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-311$$a311 - Signalling pathways, cell and tumor biology (POF3-311)$$cPOF3-311$$fPOF III$$x0 000142958 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, 000142958 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)7603e07539216b364cdb015f67872c66$$aFranke, Werner$$b1$$eLast author$$udkfz 000142958 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1458496-7$$a10.1007/s00441-018-2968-x$$gVol. 375, no. 2, p. 451 - 482$$n2$$p451 - 482$$tCell & tissue research$$v375$$x1432-0878$$y2019 000142958 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:142958$$pVDB 000142958 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)d075d31409e4ebca72c76446442dbc1a$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b0$$kDKFZ 000142958 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)7603e07539216b364cdb015f67872c66$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b1$$kDKFZ 000142958 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-311$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vSignalling pathways, cell and tumor biology$$x0 000142958 9141_ $$y2019 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bCELL TISSUE RES : 2017 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1040$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bZoological Record 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000142958 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000142958 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)A991-20160331$$kA991$$lHelmholtz-Professur Zellbiologie$$x0 000142958 980__ $$ajournal 000142958 980__ $$aVDB 000142958 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)A991-20160331 000142958 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
