Abstract excerpt
Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptors are highly polarized cells and their plasma membrane is organized into distinct domains. Zonula adherens junctions separate a smooth peripheral surface, the equivalent of the basolateral surface in other epithelial cells, from the central surface (approximately equal to apical surface). The latter consists of the microvillar rhabdomere and the juxtarhabdomeric domain, a...
