Paneth cells (pah′nĕt) [Josef Paneth, Ger. physician, 1857–1890] Large secretory cells containing coarse granules, found at the blind end of the crypts of Lieberkühn (the intestinal glands). They secrete lysozyme. Paneth cells the cells that occur at the bases of the CRYPTS OF LIEBERKUHN. They persist for only about two weeks and then disintegrate. It is thought that they remove ions of heavy metal and secrete AMINO ACIDS and LYSOZYME - an antibacterial enzyme which controls the number of bacteria in the gut. It is also possible that they secrete enzymes such as peptidases and lipases.LegalSeeCell |
