Flagella or cilia are present on most epithelial cells in the renal tubule of elasmobranch fishes (little skate, spiny dogfish, smooth dogfish, Atlantic sharpnose, scalloped hammerhead, cow-nosed ray). Flagellar cells, those with numerous flagella ordered in one, two, or more rows on the luminal sur

β¦ Synopsis
Glycosaminoglycans were isolated from plasma membranes of hepatic and renal tubule cells of guinea pig. Plasmalemma of renal tubule cells contained more total glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin-4 sulfates and chondroitin-6 sulfates, and less dermatan sulfates and heparin sulfates than liver plasma membranes. These glycocalyx components, owing t o their polyanionic properties, may have a role in the transport of water, ions, and macromolecules across the cell membrane.
