  Definition: Parietal cells, or oxyntic cells, are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (CCK2 receptors).
  The histamine receptors act by increasing intracellular cAMP, whereas the muscarinic and gastrin receptors increase intracellular Ca2+ levels.
  Both cAMP and Ca2+ act via protein kinases to increase the transport of acid into the stomach. (...)

  Melanocytes, after cell division, separate and migrate along the basement membrane; they extend their dendrites and establish multiple contacts with keratinocytes.
  Once adhesion is established, keratinocytes control melanocyte growth and expression of cell surface receptors.

  Macrophages exist in almost all animals. In some invertebrates, mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells or fibroblast-like cells can transform into macrophages.
  In vertebrates, primitive macrophages first develop in yolk sac hematopoiesis and differentiate into fetal macrophages. Monocytes are differentiated from hematopoietic stem cells in the late stage of fetal (...)

• NK cells
  29 November 2007

  Natural killer (NK) cells express cell surface receptors that recognize major histocompatibility complex class I peptides (MIM.142800) and inhibit NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
  NK cell receptors belong to 2 distinct groups: the immunoglobulin superfamily for the killer cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) (MIM.602992), and the C-type lectin superfamily for the NKG2 receptors (MIM.161555).
  These inhibitory receptors possess ’immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs’ (ITIMs) in their (...)
