Cell Polarity

Source:http://linkedlifedata.com/resource/umls/id/C0085304

MSH: Orientation of intracellular structures especially with respect to the apical and basolateral domains of the plasma membrane. Polarized cells must direct proteins from the Golgi apparatus to the appropriate domain since tight junctions prevent proteins from diffusing between the two domains.,CSP: characteristic cellular asymmetry at the morphologic or functional level, especially involving the cell membrane; e.g., animal-vegetal polarity in ova, axons and dendrites in neurons, unidirectional absorption by polarized epithelia; do not confuse with MEMBRANE POTENTIAL.
