Paneth cell

Paneth Cells. Paneth cells are the most highly secretory of the four lineages of epithelial cells that form the intestinal mucosa. Their main function is to produce, package and export a variety of antimicrobial proteins and peptides including α-defensins, angiogenin-4, lysozyme and secretory phospholipase A2.
