Sebaceous Gland Cell
- Molecular classification
- Epithelial Cell, Exocrine Gland Cell
01
Overview
Sebaceous gland cells, or sebocytes, are specialized epithelial cells within sebaceous glands that synthesize and secrete sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair, provides a water barrier, and possesses antimicrobial properties. Sebocyte differentiation is regulated by androgens, and dysregulation can lead to skin disorders like acne.
