Scope note: Células de soporte de los TÚBULOS SEMINÍFEROS que se proyectan desde la membrana basal hacia adentro. Rodean y nutren a las células germinales masculinas en desarrollo, y segregan la PROTEÍNA DE UNIÓN A ANDRÓGENOS y hormonas, como la HORMONA ANTIMULLERIANA. Las uniones estrechas de las células de Sertoli con las ESPERMATOGONIAS y los ESPERMATOCITOS establecen la BARRERA HEMATOTESTICULAR.

Scope note: Supporting cells projecting inward from the basement membrane of SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES. They surround and nourish the developing male germ cells and secrete the ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN and hormones such as ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE. The tight junctions of Sertoli cells with the SPERMATOGONIA and SPERMATOCYTES provide a BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER.
