Släta, muskelliknande celler som sitter fast på väggarna till de små blodkärlen vid njurens glomerulus och längs kärlpolen i den juxtaglomerulära apparaten. De är av myofibroblaster med sammandragande och fagocytiska egenskaper. Dessa celler utgör tillsammans med den extracellulär matrisen det glomerulära mesangiet.
Smooth muscle-like cells adhering to the wall of the small blood vessels of the KIDNEY at the glomerulus and along the vascular pole of the glomerulus in the JUXTAGLOMERULAR APPARATUS. They are myofibroblasts with contractile and phagocytic properties. These cells and their MESANGIAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX constitute the GLOMERULAR MESANGIUM.
