Abstract
Limited information on the production and secretion of the individual milk proteins at the cellular level in the mammary gland is available. It is generally assumed that all active epithelial cells within the lactating mammary gland of mice share a comparable ability to produce and secrete all the components of milk. This is based on ultrastructural studies and observations on cell membrane turnover related to fat globule membrane loss and vesicular protein exocytosis.
