Abstract excerpt
The submandibular salivary gland of mice contains a parenchymal element, the granular duct, which matures peripubertally from the striated ducts. Granular duct cells also differentiate from intercalated ducts in the adult mouse submandibular gland. Using preproNGF-A as a signature protein of mature granular duct cells, this study inquired if phenotypic determination might have occurred earlier than the first...
