Mural granulosa cell
CL:4033067
A follicular cell of ovary that differentiates from a cuboidal granulosa cell during the secondary follicle stage. Mural granulosa cells line the inner surface of the follicle wall, surrounding the fluid-filled antral cavity. These cells produce oestrogen during the follicular phase in response to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and progesterone after ovulation in response to luteinizing hormone (LH).
